Last night, I found out that my family is going on a trip to New Orleans on July 2 through the 4. We are going to be celebrating my cousin's birthday, my dad's birthday and the fourth of July. (my mom's sister and her family lives in New Orleans) On the second of July, we are going to a crawfish (it might be crab or shrimp; I'm not sure) boil as a late birthday party for my cousin. She is the only cousin I have that is near my age. She is about two years older than me, and she, my sister, and I are really close. That night we will be staying at my grandparents condo in the French Quarter. (they travel a lot and recently they bought this condo to stay at during weekends in the Quarter) On the third of July, it is my dad's birthday. I'm not quite sure what we will be doing, but I think it involves a trip to the flea market and Cafe du Monde. On the fourth of July, we might go to the aquarium or zoo because my sister and I received free passes for us and one adult (so we can all get in free!) from school. Later that night we will end our fabulous vacation with the spectacular view from the roof of the condo of all the fireworks. Volia!
