When Mommy and Daddy took their cruise, Grangie and Paw-Paw, along with Madeline and me, took them to New Orleans to get on their ship. I was completely amazed that they were going to be able to eat and sleep on their ship. I wanted to ride a boat, too. So, Grangie and Paw-Paw were going to take us to ride on the Steamboat Natchez. It's a paddle wheel river boat that runs a 90 minute tour up and down the Mississippi River at New Orleans. Well... we got there to get tickets, and they had a private rental for the day and weren't selling any! I was sooo bummed! So Grangie and Paw-Paw promised me they'd bring me back soon.
Since our plans changed, and Mommy and Daddy decided that we weren't going to Ruston for the weekend as we had planned, Grangie and Paw-Paw made good on their promise Saturday and took me to New Orleans to ride, and EAT ON, the ship!
Yep... We took the ride and we got to eat lunch in the on-board dining room! I was amazed. I loved the paddlewheel - especially liked getting 'really wet' from the spray! It was a great day! Thanks so much, Grangie and Paw-Paw, for making my dreams come true!
