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!

  Jackson Square

Pat O’Briens before dinner at the Gumbo Shop.

A little Dixieland music at Fritzel’s European Pub.

No trip to NOLA is complete without beignets at Cafe Du Monde!    

A birthday splurge at the Ritz:

Complete with new shoes!

Lunch at Acme Oyster bar. Dinner at Arnaud’s.  Music at the Blue’s Club.

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.)

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!

Thanks NOLA!   We had a blast eating, drinking, and walking our way through your town.
