Evacuation in Pictures: Part I
The Calm Before the Storm
The next day we evacuated one hour north to Mandeville.
The Morning After
The front yard of the house where we weathered the storm.
Not one tree in the nineteen that fell hit the house.
Others were not as lucky.
Chillin' in Mandeville
This is where Addy learned that she preferred to be held all of the time.
No one seemed to mind.
Next Stop: South Carolina
Settling In
Relief Effort
People's generosity is astounding.
I have a flight booked for Tucson departing Columbia on the 19th. Addy and I will be staying with my parents for two weeks and will hopefully be able to get back into the city at that time. The Husband has a flight booked as well but we are unsure about whether he will be going as his work situation is up in the air. I of course don't want to bring Addy back to the city too soon since yellow fever would be something best avoided.
Maybe when we get back from AZ we'll just hop in the car and do a tour of the East Coast. I'd start by driving up to Vermont and make our way down stopping in Provincetown (The Cape off season is fabulous), Boston, DC, skip the Carolinas, Athens, Atlanta and THEN to New Orleans.
The only problem with that plan is the price of gas. BOO!
Quite frankly, this whole evacuation thing is starting to suck.

If you DO wind up in P-town, one of the artist's co-ops has the most wonderful baby buntings made to look like a mermaid tail.....just something to look out for. Thinking of you on your long journey home!
What a great idea for a Halloween costume!
