Can Hotels be haunted?

Can hotels be haunted? I say, "Heck Yeah!" Last week I was in New Orleans and we stayed at the Hotel Monteleone (check out the video at this link). It is a beautiful hotel. Little did we know that it has a history of being haunted. From the very first day everyone noticed the elevator had a mind of it's own and would let you off on random floors. I didn't think anything of it except that it was annoying. Then we found out that the 14th floor was supposedly haunted so a few of us went up there to check it out. These 2 pictures were taken right in front of the room where a 10 year old kid died years ago. They were taken one right after another. Pretty weird if you ask me.

New Orleans was a lot of fun especially the food. I had Alligator cheesecake and Alligator sausage, turtle, Buckets of Craw fish, and now one of my favorites raw oysters.

Father ane Sons

Tavis and I had a blast this weekend. It was our first father and sons camping trip together. He will be three in a few weeks so I figured this was the year. All growing up I remember every May going with my Dad camping. It always was a great time. In Wyoming I remember my Dad teaching me how to skip rocks and going fishing in one of those big yellow inflatable rafts. I loved going fishing because my dad had a switch blade knife that I loved to play with! One year instead of sleeping in a tent my dad was really excited about being able to sleep in our new Colt Vista because you could turn it into a bed (that was cutting edge back then). In California we always went over to the coast and camped right next to a golf course. I am so glad for all those memories I have going camping with my Dad all growing up. I want to make sure Tavis has a great time too.


Here we are setting up the tent. Tavis is a great helper.



Tavis met a new buddy named Koye. In this video they are walking from the camp over to the Fort area where all the kids were playing. As you can see Koye had a dinosaur that Tavis is infatuated with.


Before going to bed we went on a hike to the falls where We say some deer. tavis and Koye are checking out the deer.

The next day Tavis and I went on a 10 mile bike ride. He loved going down the hills and going off roading but was not happy when I had to stand up to peddle on the uphill parts.
