NOLA

I've always wanted to travel to New Orleans, but Frank has 'been there, done that' and has no interest in a return trip. Lucky for me, Sarah signed up for the New Orleans Rock n Roll Half-Marathon and Kristen and I decided to join her! We flew down bright and early Friday morning (as in, we were at the airport at 4:30am) and started taking in all the city has to offer right away. We toured the French Quarter, Garden District, Frenchmen's Street, enjoyed the food, and, oh yea, ran 13.1 miles! (Side note on the race: The three of us completed in our BEST TIMES YET! Kristen completed her first half-marathon in well under her 3 hour goal at 2:35:22; I beat my old time by about 14 minutes, finishing at 1:52:46 and Sarah ran an amazing race, completing in 1:34:09! Yay ladies!!!) Here's a little scrapbook of our trip in pictures:
