Give me some SUGAR!

We were lucky enough to go see the Utes dominate Alabama in the Sugar bowl. It was the first time Jamie and I had ever been to New Orleans and it really was such a fun trip. We spent a lot of time in the french quarter, ate amazing food, visited a plantation, walked along the river walk, enjoyed famous beignets, watched many street performers, and saw great local art work. Not to mention the great football game we watched! I was not very good at taking pictures, but here are a few. We took Abi but left Grace and Sarah with my mom for part of the time and with their cousins for the rest. Big thanks to David and Denae for taking care of 5 kids under the age of 5! This is where Abi spent most of her trip. In the stroller. She did so well, I really couldn't have asked for more!
Here we are outside the plantation.

This is how Abi enjoyed the game. They gave out these pom poms and Abi was very appreciative.


Here we are with Jamie's parents. See Abi is still enjoying the pom pom.



Here Jamie and I are at the pep rally. It was really fun, and packed full of utah fans.

What a great game to be at and a fun town to visit - that is where Scott ran his first marathon, I remember those beignets well!
