Louisiana Day 3 – The Millet reunion
This post reflects the date the entry took place. Because I was using a national wireless connection provided by work, I felt it more appropriate to enter these when I got home. As a result, this is being written on Sunday, April 29, 2007.
Today was the Millet Family Reunion, essentially the reason for our trip to Louisiana. As you can imagine from my last name, Millet is not my side of the family, but man, did I enjoy myself something crazy. We met people from all over the family tree, had all sorts of wonderful Southern Louisiana food, heard one of the cousins play some folk tunes for us then had a nice drive back.
The day itself started out nice, with great weather and a great drive. Frank and Sylvia's house is awesome, sitting on a huge one acre piece of land that would be an enviable plot anywhere, especially here in California. The kids had a blast with all the space to run around and I had a blast running around after all of them. Lunch and dinner were awesome featuring a mix of native Louisiana cuisine that is hard to find anywhere. The beer was flowing (a local micro brewery named Abita was the culprit here) and there was plenty of wine for cousin Jim.
It was a great day, especially for Sandi and the kids. I do wish I could have had a little bit of time with Sandi, but I guess this trip really was not about us so much as about her and the kids and the family. All is well... that is kind of what Disneyland was all about so I am glad that Sandi had a good time.
After the festivites, we headed home for to begin preparation for the Lowry family shindig that were will be having tomorrow.
