Finally! A post!

Hi Grandma!
Sorry it has taken me so long to do a post...but, because it has taken so long, you're going to get lots and lots of pictures from 2011!  YAY!

So, I will start with April when we went to Sequoia and Yosemite.  It was beautiful and because they had had record snowfall, the waterfalls were AMAZING!  We hiked 17 miles in 3 days! We were exhausted, but I think we will definitely go back.

Ok, I don't know how to rotate photos, I will figure it out. soon!

Then, I went to New York to visit my sister!  We had a great time going to Fire Island...

We saw two fawns!!



The we ate lobstah!!

 Our friends own some property about 2 1/2 hours northeast of town...so we headed up there for a long weekend.  We went on a short hike to a lake that we had not been to before.

Then, the guys caught some crawfish...



...but they were definitely not big enough to eat!

Finally, I just got back from Lousiana for my friend's commissioning to officer in the army after finishing PA school.  We went to her ceremony there and then headed to New Orleans so that I could check it off my list.  The weather was nice and we had a great time!



This is the view at sunset from her house on a lake!  It was super nice, but there were A LOT of mosquitoes!





At the ceremony, we were all room mates my last year of college...it was nice to get together again to celebrate her accomplishment!




Bourbon Street.




Beignets and Iced Cafe au Lait at Cafe du Monde.




The church which I can't remember the name of...


We have moved out of my old house and into a bigger one...I will try to take some pics soon.

Hope all is well and I am TRYING to get down there to visit you soon!!  When I do, I have a SUPER surprise for you!
Love,
R
