Fontainebleau State Park

I sat down this morning at the computer, with my coffee, and took a big deep breath....something I've been unable to do for the past week. It felt good to browse facebook, and make my daily to do list...its very long today...and its funny now that I think about it, blogging is not anywhere on the list! We have had busy weekends for the past month....but who can complain about vacations! Last weekend we stayed with my parents at Fontainebleau State Park in Mandeville, LA. It was beautiful and so relaxing....its like a whole other state in Mandeville! Our cabin sat over lake Pontchartrain, with a huge porch and big rocking chairs that you could sit endlessly watching all the sailboats go by. They also had a large beach and a splash area, that the kids loved to play in. The park is known for its beautiful Oak trees draped with Spanish moss, and for its remains of an old Sugar Mill. Jackson discovered fishing, and spent endless hours dropping his rubber worm into the lake, only to reel it right back in. Avie wanted to take part in fishing too, so we had to make her one. We ate some great food, including Morton's, which is along side the Tchefuncte River and N'Tini's. We had a great time, and it was so nice to have a mini vacation! It's always nice to have grandparents around, because I can have some time to relax too!
