On Tuesday the day before we were leaving for New Orleans Susan was in a wreck in Liberty. Luckily she was not hurt. Shad stopped behind a truck street sweeper in Liberty. He picked up his sweeper and she thought he was going to turn on the next street. Instead he started backing up. She blew her horn and then tried to get her car in reverse but couldn't do it in time. He crushed the hood and fenders and broke the windshield. He stopped just in time to keep from injuring Susan. The car was not damaged mechanically and still was driviable. The city filled with their insurance and we will take it to get an estimate. The car is in excellent condition but it is a 2008 with 215,000 miles on it. I expect they will total it. We don't want that because no way can we replace it for what we will get . Anyway we left the next morning for New Orleans. Sammi's volleyball team is playing in a 3 day tournament there. We are staying in a different park this year. Its in the southwest side of New Orleans, Bayou Segnette State Park. I give it a 7 out of 10 for a park. The asphalt sites are a little narrow for me and the ground slopes quickly but the sites are spacious. There is not a lot of shady sites. I give it a 10n for location. Depending on traffic I can get to downtown in 20 minutes. There are a lot of seafood markets and restaurants nearby. The area of town is a lot nicer than where we used to stay at the other state park on the east side. The tournament was a disaster. We played terrible the first day (every game went 3 sets) but managed to stay in the winners bracket. The second day was terrible . One team in our pool went unbeaten and the rest of us tied. We lost the tiebreaker and so went to the losers bracket on Sunday. We lost our game on Sunday, to be fair she players who normally dont get much playing time and it showed. Sammi actually had a great tournament serving and her defense was really good also. Because we finished so early Sunday, I loaded everything up so we could come home Monday. It was a very windy day coming home , we caught 25-30 mph winds all day but we made it home by 2;30.
