Facing Fears in Louisiana

Gabbie has a strong fear of driving over bridges.  On our way into New Orleans there is a long causeway that I warned her about.  I continuously asked her if she is OK with driving over it, which she believed she was... until she turned and said "I don't think I can do this" as we just got on it.


Of course it was raining, and there was construction.  


Gabbie handled like a champ.  She drove us out of New Orleans the next afternoon (it was a late night), where she faced more bridges.  The marshlands lasted for a good 2 hours until we got into Mississippi.


We stopped off at a truck stop for gas and some snacks.  There was also a casino there.  It was as dark and depressing as you can imagine.

Naturally when I got behind the driver's seat, the skies were blue and the roads were wide open.
