March 6th, cont.

Since we were flying out of New Orleans, we travelled from Lake Charles via Baton Rouge. We stopped at the cemetery to pay respects to Ben's parents. We added one of the wedding favors, Ben's boutonniere and my bouquet to the flowers that was already there. It is amazing to me how the things we brought added into the arrangement as if it were planned that way all along. During the wedding, I felt they were a part of our celebration and this just solidified that feeling.

Now it's time for our next stop. This was an exciting one. We were going to have dinner with Ben's children and grandchildren! It was a very touching time to meet Tiffany, her husband Adam and Bennie and his girlfriend Ashley. And to hear the grandchildren (Marin & Marshall) call "Grandfather!" as they hugged Ben. We had a great time talking, getting to know each other and catching up.

Ben kept the M & M's entertained as he pulled quarter after quarter out of their ears! Once again, the time flew by and we had to say goodbye.

Bedtime for the little ones and we still had to drive to New Orleans and return the rental car. We had an early morning flight to paradise!
