"We should be pirates..."

Yes, I will explain that title in just a minute.
I've been gone for a week, (as you may be able to tell....for some reason that sentence seems blatently obvious to me...) No, I wasn't just being lazy with my blog, I was actually away from my laptop. I went on vacation to LOUISIANA!! I'd like to note that, whenever I told people this, they nod for a second from interest, but it is quickly swept away by the repeated question, "Why?". To be fair, it probably DOES sound like an odd place to go on vacation. Well, to answer, I went down there for a family reunion. Louisiana and the surrounding areas is where the Baham's come from. So all of those pictures you see of hicks sitting on the porch shining their shotguns, chewing on a piece of wheat or whatever...those be my relatives. :D
I will blog more about this vacation, I promise. No really, I promise I will. BUT, it's late, and I'm tired from traveling. I'll just add the pirates story real quick.
My family and I were traveling around the French Quarter (no, not a coin....and you know....I didn't see a single french person while I was down there....) in New Orleans (pronounced Naw-lins) for our first day, and my mother was following this guide to take us to the "cool and interesting" places. We passed the oldest cathedral in the US, and out of nowhere, my mother says, "We should be pirates." There was a moment of stunned silence, then my whole family (minus my mother) burst out laughing. Normally, random things like this fit into my family's normal routine, but for some reason, it was special this time. My mother had meant for us to go down a "Pirate Street", but she said, "We should be pirates." instead. Yeah, it doesn't make much sense to me either, but it was hilarious either way.
Well, time to sleep. I'll blog again tomorrow night....I hope.


P.S. Another Nawlins quote, "I should change my name to Max Power..." Me (quoting The Simpsons I'll have you know...) "That's lame." -Sister
