New Orleans!!

Well, what a busy week for the L-B crowd. We have just returned from a quick trip to New Orleans and are heading to MSP on Thursday. Thought I'd try to get a few pictures up from our trip. We didn't really take that many while in NOLA. The site of the hurricane damage seems wrong to photograph when there are so many families, houses, and complete parts of the city that have yet to be helped with rebuilding. We all stayed at the Landry's house and are so grateful for their hospitality! Mickey also proved to be an amazing tour guide. One day, he took us on a drive through the city, so we could see the devastation for ourselves. It is quite hard to explain what we really saw...

Needless to say, it was a great trip and I think both DB and I fell in love with the city. Probably a good thing Mickey works in an elementary school. It would be hard to turn down a job in such a cool city.

More French Quarter with the best tour guide around...Mickey Landry!

Sadness...

Happy Thanksgiving! Enjoy your family and friends. Find a turkey trot.
