Day 85 - Sunday, march 25

I have a meeting after church and made a 7 layer salad for the lunch...one of my favs!

Day 84 - Saturday, March 24

These two ladies help me develop the curriculum for our children's program at church.  The elders gifted us at Christmas with gift cards to a spa.  We finally found a date when we could all three go together.  Can I just say the pedicure felt A.MA.ZING on these tired feet of mine that walked all over New Orleans!!!

Day 83 - Friday, March 23

On the way out of town we made one last stop for some beignets before heading home!!  You definitely don't want to breathe IN while eating one!!  If you look carefully you can see the powdered sugar flying off as Jason breathed OUT when he took a bite!!

Day 82 - Thursday, March 22

  Of course we had to try Aunt Sally's pralines and got to see them making them!!

  A dreary, rainy day is the perfect time to stop by Cafe Du Monde for a cafe au lait and some beignets!!

Some guy came barrelling down the street and sprayed a WALL of water all over us...ugh.  We got soaked...but we all turned our backs in time and saved our beignets!!!!  :)  And I tried not to think about that gross water all over us!

We hit the aquarium next....a great place to get out of the rain!

Day 81 - Wednesday, March 21

 There are still remnants in the trees from Mardi Gras in most places!!

 We took advantage of the lack of rain this morning and did a self guided walking tour of the Garden District.  Such beautiful homes and I loved the trees!!!

My muffuletta.....amazing!!!

We ended the day enjoying some jazz at Preservation Hall.

Day 80, Tuesday, March 20

We drove 7+ hours today and are thrilled with our hotel....I bid on priceline for it and got a 4 star hotel for about 30% of the original price!!!!  Jason's and my first time to eat crawfish...LOVED them!

Day 79 - Monday March 19

We have decided to pile in the car tomorrow and head to New Orleans for a few days.  I am not happy about the weather forecast while we are there.  :(
