The first big tradeshow of 2012 is Imaging USA. It was in New Orleans this year, so we all packed up and headed south. (Well, almost all-Daddy went east to see Auntie Devon, and a little south to golf in Oklahoma) Mom, Autumn, Jeff, Cait, Ryland, Grandma, Alicia, Matt, and I flew to NOLA. This was the train ride at the airport.
While Mom and them worked, us kids got to see the more interesting parts. We went to a park, the Zoo, Children’s museum, and on a boat trip across the Mississippi. At night we explored the French Quarter and walked on Bourbon St. Let me tell you, the French quarter was a weird place! One night there were people EVERYWHERE acting veeeerrrry funny. (must’ve been becasue the Saints lost to the Niners) We walked in the middle of the street and saw people wearing all kinds of beads, hats, and masks. It seems like we ate at restaurants all the time and Mom tried all kinds of new foods.
PoBoy-
Beignets
Autumn “eating” hers really meant she made tracks int he powdered sugar as she licked her fingers.
Avocado, crab and brie omlet
Cafe Du Monde for cafe au lait and another beignet
Mom also had a “special” at an italian restaurant where the pasta sauce was spicy and had crawfish, crawfish etoufee, and red beans and rice.
Here’s a picture of a bridge going over the Mississippi river. (we drove on it to get to the Best Buy)
The last day we went back to the French Quarter during the day. We saw a mime, musicians playing on the sidewalk and beautiful decorations.
Next trip-California and then onto Las Vegas for WPPI. This year, I won’t pee on the balcony!
