Return to Pearl River and New Orleans

Jordan's Birthday Celebration

We drove down to Pearl River to be present for the family celebration of Jordan's birthday on Saturday, August 1. Her cake was a big stack of brownies which we dubbed the "brownie mountain".

A big water slide was part of the celebration. Elyse enjoyed demonstrating it for Grandma.

Darla and Jeff took their turns at making big splashes.

A tent was set up for visiting and watching the water slide. We had a casual lunch, then brownies and ice cream, then gift opening for Jordan for her birthday.

Several of Jordan's friends joined the party and had a good time on the water slide.

After the party we drove down to New Orleans where we had booked a Wyndham Hotel for the week on St. Charles Street. Above is our view of New Orleans from the roof of the 12-story hotel, and a night view down on to St. Charles with its center trolley rails.
