On the 4th of July we took a ride to a place called Grande Isle, and Holy Cow what a place, and getting there was quite an experience too! We headed out from New Orleans, and as we got closer to the Isle, noticed that on both sides of us the water was a road level, or MAYBE a couple of feet lower, then we see all these boats, some quite large, in the water, All of a sudden Bill screeches to the side of the road and says" Wow, look at that, it is a bridge!"Sure enough, a little house starts to move and

This was a sign we saw in Thibodeaux, it was at a house, and he lady was nice and offered us some of what she sold, but we declined, I think Al, my son-in-law would have jumped at the chance!
Had to visit the town of Thibodeaux, Our daughter and son-in-laws last name is Thibodeau, so it had special meaning to us.
Even Sassy liked it, she walked right in, took a drink and went, PA~TOOEE, that's yukky!
There I am, it was windy, and about 85*, so really nice.
Bill wading in the Gulf. It was really warm!!

Bridges to nowhere!>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Boats like these went through when the bridges were up!

This was a bridge on the way to Grand Island, the building at the left moved, pulling the bridge down and allowing the cars to go over the channel. Awesome, Bill had to get out and look, it totally fasinated him.




Yes, they ALL live this way, up on stilts!!

You see these signs everywhere, and it behoves you to watch or listen to a weather report because the storms come up fast and furious!
Aren't they a handsome lot. There they sat in all their glory, as we entered the museum. Everything was metal, I Loved the horse!
This beautiful dress was worn by 3 generations of women, 1803, 1903, and 1953. They don't make 'em like that anymore!
The light from an Old lighthouse that was on the Mississippi River. In the background Bill is looking at a full size Shrimp boat. Pretty cool!!
