Mardi-Gras 2008

Jo, the kids, and I all went to New Orleans for Mardi-Gras this year. We stayed at the Royal St. Charles Hotel. This shot of the parade was about 10 feet from our hotel. Very convenient. We all had a great time. The kids must have caught about 50+ pounds of beads. At least they felt that heavy when dad was packing them back to the hotel.

Dreamy....

Here's another shot Becky and I took today. This one was taken in the gardens of the state capital. We sure had a good time together.

Becky the GIANT!

Becky and I enjoyed a little father - daughter time today. She wanted to go to the Louisiana State Capital Building. I'm not sure she envisioned a picture like this but regardless we had a great day together. She's off to Pensacola tonight for an evening with her mom. On Monday she's playin hookey from school and spending the day with her Grandma.
