Mavis' Road Trip to New Orleans
Last week we went on a road trip and took my cousin to New Orleans.
Doesn't Dad look nice in the hot pink feather boa? Mom put it 'round his shoulders because he looked cold when we sat at a table by one of the restaurant's open doors so I could sit with them. Later Dad tried to put it around my Pet Voyage (said with a French accent) carrier but I wasn't having any of it!
Here is my cousin Mike (from Vancouver) and Dad (Frank Creed) standing in front of our table. Mike carried that silly Mardi Gras glass around and he kept getting it refilled. I'm not sure the French Quarter is any place for a kitty . . . see those beads Dad is wearing? Yup, you guessed it, he tried to dress me up in them too.
I ride shotgun while on road trips so I can check out passing truckers and maybe get a wave or two. Notice the mandatory "halter top" and lead I have to wear while in the car. Yeah, I can roam the vehicle from front and back to the food/ water and kitty facilities, but how embarrassing!
I like to have my 'Nice' (an old blanket) on someone's knee while I'm in charge of directions. Although it may appear that I am pointing out the way to the driver, here I am actually steadying myself from that long bumpy ride over Lake Ponchatrain . . . which occured after the half hour it took us to get out of NO and before the one hour we spent traveling in circles in Mandeville (I know right? obviously I wasn't in charge of directions at this point).

Mave--
You look comfortable at the dash.
Cool pics, Bébé. I don't know if the French Quarter was a good place for a cat in some ways, but you must have loved all the fresh fish smells in the air down there (well, if the booze didn't overwhelm them). And surely you got to see the Coast while you were that close? That bridge over Lake Ponchetrain was too long and scary looking for me when I was there. But your dad has a lot more nerve than me anyway when he drives. Looks like a good trip.
Mave, don't let anyone pick on you. You look good in blue, even it it is a halter.
Also, I don't think your dad looks too cool with the color pink, but what do I know?
I am glad you and your family had a good time. I remember going there for Mardi one year and was it ever fun and yes, one can get into trouble, you sneaky cat you, you are too cute, I hope you behaved yourself and came when called.
Kudos from Fritz and Cassie Harris Meow and meow.
