RaeRay’s New Adventure










































Ansley was hardly 10 years old when Mike and Jenny married. Morgan Rae came along 24 months later, and Kaki was born less than two years after that. This close-knit family of five shared many memories during the next decade before Ansley left home to start a life of his own. Now they unite again – just the five of them – for a weekend of fun, food, and music at the N...ew Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival.
 
Mike and Jenny made regular trips to Jazzfest during the 1990s, and the kids often came along to spend time with their Grandmama. They never had the chance to soak up the sensations that made Jazzfest such a release for Mom and Dad. Finally, they will share the experience all together.
The five will board a black Nissan Xterra on Thursday morning, visit Granddaddy in Hattiesburg, MS, and arrive that night at the Westin New Orleans near the Riverwalk. They will make the French Quarter their home for three days. You can join them on a virtual tour.
 
RaeRay’s New Adventure follows in the tracks of last year’s RaeRay’s Great Adventure. Posts and pictures will help us relive the experience time and again. The time is nigh:
“Afoot and light-hearted I take to the open road – healthy, free, the world before me -- the long brown path before me leading wherever I choose.”
