ValentinePalooza 2009--Change of Plans!

Well everyone! That's what I get for trying to get my posting done before vacation! I'm sure you noticed that my post about New Orleans has been deleted. Why you ask? Well....because Rob's efficient wife (that would be me) tried to have every little tiny detail (even down to the blogging) worked out BEFORE we went on our trip. Guess what little detail The Wife forgot to consider? MARDI GRAS IN NEW ORLEANS!

Yep--I did it big this time.....planned a trip right smack in the middle of the definition of confusion--Mardi Gras. It's enough that Mardi Gras originated in our city (not New Orleans, but in Mobile--read about it--it's true) and that we have to contend with what I call "The Mardi Gras Mess". I certainly am not going to go and get in the middle of another city's "Mardi Gras Mess" either.

So, I'm sure you're asking...what now? Well, I had to scurry around and change all of our plans to a new location...which is now Orange Beach. There will be plenty to do, sunsets to view, waves to hear crashing on the shore....ahhhhhh, I can't wait. At any rate, I'm sure that I'll have some pictures to post when we get back. I guess you can just chalk up the "post about the trip that never was" as some really good creative writing. That taught me a lesson about trying to be "too" organized with trip planning!

See you when we get back! Here are a couple of teaser pictures of Orange Beach for you. Have a great Valentines weekend!
