Fun With Friends in New Orleans, and a Little Jazzercise on the Side.

April 15-18, 2010

I had an instructor conference for Jazzercise in New Orleans on Friday and Saturday, so why not bring some friends along and turn it into a vacation!

Going to brunch at Cafe Fleur de Lis, we found Drew Brees!  I asked him if he was going to keep my fantasy team alive.  He said, “That’s the plan.”  (This was before I found out he was gracing the cover of Madden 2011.  Uh oh.)New Orleans 2010 067

I promise, there were some Jazzercise meetings thrown in there.  Nothing worth taking pictures of.  Jazzercise is heading to Las Vegas in June 2011.  Yes, we are planning the next trip!
