Louisiana and Galveston

We've had some adventures since moving to Texas. A few days after we arrived, I left for Louisiana to visit my sister and see her graduate with her master's. My parents and brother also came to visit for the special occasion. I came a few days early to help my sister pack and to see the sights of the city.

The whole family.

After graduation, we went out for a traditional crawfish boil. I ate one crawfish and then had a salad.

Then, my sister, her boyfriend, and I went to visit New Orleans. It's been many years since I was there last. I enjoyed just walking around the French Quarter and seeing the downtown area. I also got to see the Superdome where the Saints play, which was cool.

There are guys like this all over downtown and this is their job. This man held this position for several minutes!

 Then, my sister came to Texas to visit me. We went to Galveston for a day to see the sights there. We went on a ferry ride around the island and also walked through the historic downtown. We also went swimming in the ocean and it was wonderful! I loved it and can't wait to go back soon!

Galveston is a port city for many cruise and we got to walk past this huge cruise ship! Can't wait to go on a cruise with Joseph some day!

Now, we're back into normal life again. Joseph started his second week at work and is enjoying it. The weather isn't too bad yet. We look forward to many more adventures in the upcoming weeks.
