The theme was Solid Gold Dance Party.
The Girls spent the weekend shopping with Rob's parents and the boys stayed with their friends.
I know there are more things to do in New Orleans than just eat- but that's how I vacation.
The Court of two sister is a fun place to eat and listen to jazz music. I read it about in a Hemingway novel and a Faulkner novel once. Then before Robert and I went to New Orleans nine years ago for Danielle's wedding, I was reading a novel and in the novel the writer was interviewing Hemingway at the Court of Two Sisters. So we had to go then and since it was fabulous we had to return. Also I am a big fan of William Faulkner and he wrote his first novel around the corner from there and so well you just have to go.
After we left there we went to the Faulkner Book store- where he lived and I bought a Flannery O'Connor Novel. That girl was NUTS- her writing is very scary and I'm amazed that she published in the 40s and 50s. She's timeless though.
At Danielle's party she had Karaoke. Danielle, unlike most people, can actually sing. I wanted to join in the festivities and you can see our internet sensation here on you tube. For some reason they turned down my mike...hmmm must not have wanted to overshadow the birthday girl- lol
We had a great time and were just thrilled to spend some time alone, you have to do that every now and again, it's the secret of a long and happy marriage.
Speaking of which on the 27th we'll have been married for 13 years. It seems like only yesterday we went on that fate filled blind date. He still has those gorgeous green eyes and he still makes my heart skip a beat. It's been a fun 13 years and I look forward to about 40 more!
Here is another video I shot of Joely and her friend Corey at the zoo on the 31st. Alice isn't in the videos because she spent the day at a zoo camp. Click here to watch it, but I warn you it's about 6 minutes long.

Sounds like it was fun. We went to the Court of Two Sisters last time I was there too. Did you end up doing any tours?
I'm so glad you had fun.....you are quite the singer! I loved the video of the zoo...made me think I was there doing the naked mole rat rap with Kim Possible and climbing into the eagle's nest for a birdseye view! Joely and Corey were so cute!
I had no idea the Big Easy was so close! And we plan and judge our vacations by what we eat too - that's the only way to go!! Glad you had fun.
What a fun trip! As much as I loved seeing your kids in real time, my favorite part of the video was hearing your voice. Here's hoping I get to Austin this year and we can lunch!
You have to go to New Orleans for the food!!! That's one of the best parts!!
Sooo, did you drive right through LC and not drop by!!!
Next time??
That looks like so much fun!! That's so awesome that you were able to be there for Danielle! She's so fun!
