I recently did a little bit of traveling around the southeast US – namely, Florida and Louisiana – and of course I took a whole bunch of photos while I was there.<\/p>\n

You can view the whole collection here<\/a>, but here’s the short version:<\/p>\n

\"mother<\/a><\/p>\n

\"baby<\/a><\/p>\n

I went to Florida and saw some alligators, both big and small.<\/p>\n

\"the<\/a><\/p>\n

I saw the Everglades.<\/p>\n

\"view<\/a><\/p>\n

I drove across a LOT of long (and short) bridges.<\/p>\n

\"keith<\/a><\/p>\n

I stood at the (almost) southernmost point in the continental United States.<\/p>\n

\"bourbon<\/a><\/p>\n

Then I jumped over to New Orleans and experienced Bourbon Street in the French Quarter at night.<\/p>\n

\"steamer<\/a><\/p>\n

Then I took a steamboat ride on the only remaining truly steam-powered passenger paddle steamer left on the Mississippi River.<\/p>\n

\"sunset<\/a><\/p>\n

\"sunset<\/a><\/p>\n

Did I mention the steamboat ride was a leisurely 2-hour cruise at sunset?<\/p>\n

\"wall<\/a><\/p>\n

Then I saw a neat cemetery.<\/p>\n

\"st<\/a><\/p>\n

And rode on an old tram train.<\/p>\n

\"houmas<\/a><\/p>\n

Before finally visiting some beautiful old plantations…<\/p>\n

\"bocage<\/a><\/p>\n

…VERY beautiful plantations…<\/p>\n

\"having<\/a><\/p>\n

…one of which we stayed in overnight!<\/p>\n

\"amanda<\/a><\/p>\n

As you can imagine, it was a very fun trip and we saw a lot of neat things and places. If you’d like to see more pictures (along with comments about what I was doing at the time), feel free to check out the full collection over on Flickr<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
