Gone Fishin'...Again

Last night we had dinner with Ashley, Adam, Adam's mother, Cindy and her new husband, Rick. After dinner we walked through the French Quarter to the piano bar at Pat O's. We had a wonderful evening which ended around 11:00 PM. The alarm rang bright and early (4:00 AM) and Don and Douglas were out of the bed headed to their favorite fishing spot.
They both said they had a great time, caught a few fish, and came home with some new stories to tell.

A little bit of Disney

On the boat to Epcot from our hotel. It was a nice ride through some of the other Disney resorts that look like little towns on the east coast.

The parks were empty during our stay. On Saturday afternoon, things started to fill up - just in time for us to head home on Sunday!
Don makes new friends where ever we go!
We had a great time at the Hoop-De-Doo Revue in Fort Wilderness.

Gotta Love Mickey!

Don and I are in Disney World celebrating my birthday, enjoying a re-do of our first vacation 27 years ago - before we had a family! While we were in the Magic Kingdom, Mickey came to our room, left a midnight snack and a sweet card. How in the world did he find out my age!!!

Latest Count!!

Don and I went to the doctor today for his check up and his latest tumor marker is 163, down from 55,000 in June of last year. We were both thrilled with this news. The doctor told him to keep taking the shakes and he would see him in November for a re-check. We love to hear that good news!

Reliving...

We have been in St. Louis, MO since Wednesday afternoon learning more about the nutritional supplement Don has been taking since shortly after he was diagnosed with cancer. There are thousands of people here and we have heard hundreds of stories equally as amazing as his. Today we represented New Orleans in a walk for the foundation and had a fabulous time bringing a little Mardi Gras to St. Louis.
All Hail - King Don! The rest of the Krewe!

Road Weary...

Leaving Niagara.
Don and I cannot believe how many states we have been through in the last six days. We left Louisiana on Friday morning and so far have visited or driven through Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New York, Michigan,Indiana,Illinois, and as of this writing, Missouri - 13 states and we are not home yet! We came in to St. Louis one day ahead of time to rest before the convention. We have seen all kinds of country side but I think what we have seen the most is corn, corn, and more corn!! We walked on the shore of Lake Michigan on a chilly August morning and visited downtown Chicago.

Niagara Falls at Last

We arrived at the falls yesterday and spent most of the afternoon exploring. Today we are off on a bus/boat tour. The water going over the edge of the falls is a beautiful shade of green.
We have an incredible view of both Horseshoe falls and the American Falls from our bedroom. The falls are lighted at night and fireworks exploded last night just as we climbed into bed! Beautiful!
