So as I had mentioned, we took a trip down to New Orleans. Bethany had never been there, and it had been some time since I went there myself. So, we set out 6am on the 28th for the Big Easy. The drive was pretty uneventful, and Emma did just fine. We hit a bit of traffic on the I10 bridge, but otherwise no major problems. The following morning, we were off and running. First, we had to go to vital records to get our marriage license, then we had some lunch and at 3:30 we were on our way down the aisle. You read that right. Beth and I eloped while in New Orleans. We were married in a wonderful little chapel down in the French Quarter, complete with cake. The reverand and his wife were great, Beth looked wonderful, and I looked ok-ish for being in a tux. I’ll post a pic later on, but everything was just wonderful, and I now have a ring on my finger. :)

Saturday we were off to explore the French Quarter. We wandered up and down the streets, checking out the sights and just enjoying the city. It was a bit eerie to drive through some sections, seeing the FEMA trailers and piles of trash around, but for the most part the city seems to be recovering well. Sunday we went to the Zoo and the Aquarium, and agin, pics will follow. All in all, it was a great trip, we enjoyed ourselves, Emma did fine and I can now say that I no longer have a fiancee, but a wife.
