Mommy and Daddy go to the Big Easy!

We packed our bags  and headed to New Orleans, without any babies!!! The trip was planned around cheering on the Gators at the Sugar Bowl. This is the first non-veterinary conference trip alone for myself and Anthony since having all three little ones! It was AMAZING! New Orleans is special to us because that is where I lived after we were married while finishing clinicals in grad school! However, the key to this trip was having our close friends Tanya and Patrick there with us, they are Louisiana locals! We had the best time! Anthony and I love the New Orleans atmosphere and food!





Myself and Tanya with a craw-gator!






For New Years Eve we celebrated with amazing reservations at GW Fins. This meal was the best food you could put in your mouth! GW Fins was awarded the 2009 Best Seafood of New Orleans, and we agree!



After the appetizers, dinner, and dessert we headed out to Bourbon Street!



Guess who?!?

At midnight we celebrated along the riverside with a spectacular fireworks show!



GO GATORS!!! Game time at the Super Dome! We had unbelievable seats on the 45 yard line, row 17! Good Job Santa! This game was a blast!!! I was so proud of the Gator football team, especially our beloved Tim Tebow AND Urban Meyer!

At Fan Jam!

It is Great to be a Florida Gator!



Florida Gator Head Coach Meyer!

Our #15





One of Anthony's favorite foods is boiled crawfish!!! It is early for crawfish season, but Tanya found a local spot that had the crawfish boil! On this day Anthony had 5 lbs of crawfish and 2 dozen raw oysters, plus much more! Needless to say he left New Orleans with a smile and full belly!


                                                 
This was a much needed vacation for us!! Thank you so much to our friends and family for making our weekend all that it could be, and more!
