Hello all! Welcome to my first Trip Report!! Thanks in advance to all those who start reading along...
I did a pre-trip report, which you can find here: Celebrating a combined 34 years of marriage! This trip was a gift from me and my husband to my parents to celebrate their upcoming 30th anniversary! We love them so much, and this was a wonderful way to celebrate!
Why the title of my trip report?
First of all, it comes from an episode of Modern Family, where Phil (the "cool" dad) is explaining how he knows all about the computer lingo kids are using...like "LOL = laughing out loud", and "w.t.f. = Why the Face?"
Anyway, "Why the face" became somewhat of our catch phrase this trip...whenever something ridiculous would happen, or if we'd get frustrated, one of us would chime in with "Why the Face?!" [For example, when my dad got trapped behind some slow moving electric scooters ]
Our trip details:
August 29 - September 4 2011
Port Orleans French Quarter
Who we are:
Kate (myself) and Aaron (my husband)
and Mike and Peg (my parents)
I'm so excited to share with you all the details of my trip. I took good notes about everything we did, and between the 4 of us we came back with about 2500 photos, so everything is well documented! I'll be discussing our travel plans (and how we were sandwiched between hurricanes), our daily plans (including our Keys to the Kingdom tour), and a lot of good food (Victoria & Albert's!).
Stay tuned for updates!
