Jazz Fest Weekend

What a fun filled weekend we had in New Orleans!  We joined Lisa & Mitch, and Mike, Debbie, Marissa & Spencer for the NOLA Jazz and Heritage Festival.  The weather was beautiful on Thursday so we were able to relax and enjoy all the great music and wonderful food!!!
Friday we skipped the festival and headed down to the French Quarters.  After a quick stop for drive through daiquires, we met up with Noelle, David & the girls.  What an experience!!!   You could see remnants of hurricane Katrina, but for the most part, the city was clean!  Of course no trip would be complete without a visit to Margaritaville...and with no open container laws, the adults were able to enjoy a few of Jimmy's famous concoctions...though they don't compare to Mitch's magical margaritas! 

It just so happened while we were strolling through the city, we stumbled upon Tommy Lee who was filming an upcoming 10 episode reality TV series for Discovery Channel.  Camera crews were everywhere...so keep your eyes peeled come August when the show is set to air!



Finally after much anticipation, the big event arrived!  It looked as though it was going to be rained out, but about 3 oclock in the afternoon, the clouds parted and the skies cleared for Jimmy Buffett's performance!  It was a MUDDY MESS, but worth every second!  After hearing FINS, and singing along to Margaritaville, everyone seemed to forget about standing ankle deep in Mud!  What a wonderful visit with family and friends!!!  We are looking forward to many many more good times!
