speaking of your neck of the woods who. i haven't been to NO since my honeymoon in 04 and the 13 of march will be our 10 year so i am planing to go back then. she wants to go to mardi gras but my mom and my sisters kids will be in town
so what is some cool shit to take to old lady to?
Cant guarantee I'll be around for that.
I have some awesome childhood memories of mardigras, certain parades are better for the kinds, mainly the day time ones, and there are certain areas along the routes themselves that are more family friendly depending where what parade is running.
Other than that there will be live music galore all day and night (as usual), and plenty of great food as well. Stay off of bourbon st. I can link you to a page that will have all locations of live music with who and where and when they will be playing.
The zoo is awesome and the aquarium is really nice too. City park is great to stroll through looking at all the multi hundred year old oaks, there is a nice little carnival type thing for the kids in there too... Just strolling around uptown is relaxing in itself, hit up the riverwalk downtown too.
Well I got everything in for the hydro systems,,, will share when the time comes.
and no i dont get away to much. that is way i have been thinking of finding a good partner when i move to do this for a living. when i was going to WA the plan was to do it myself and have silent partners, but now i think a grower would be better you end up married to a big garden and if you want any time of you are screwed. plus we all now how that friend dose about coming by and watering. lot of seed is more chance to find the fire
I love my garden also all of my dogs! Even my labrador
