* We once traveled all the way to Lake Tahoe, spent 2 nights there, and managed to NEVER actually see the LAKE!!! Is that even possible?
* I spent 4 years in college at FSU, managed to graduate, and didn't bother to attend my own graduation ceremony. Ain't nobody got time for that.
* I decided to go to a hot yoga class immediately after spray tanning. Terrible idea on so many levels! Do I even need to explain? I wont even mention the spray tan/wax incident... it wasn't pretty.
Perhaps the most devastating of all events occurred a few weeks ago while we visited New Orleans once again. You see... we got lucky- it happened to be the annual tomato festival that weekend !! Hooray for tomatoes!
 |
| The tomato fest even lasts two days |
 |
| this is serious |
So we went to the "hyped-up" tomato festival in the French quarter. We saw all the fresh farm stands, listened to the awesome live music, posed in front of fake tomatoes, saw the tomato queens, and watched a parade honoring the wonderful tomato.

| Tomato queen and bloody mary queen |
You know what we forgot to do? Ummmm we totally forgot to TASTE the darn famous New Orleans creole tomato.
Yep. Tomato Fail
Oh well
I will put it on the list
Truthfully, we had no idea there was a dumb tomato fest that weekend anyways. None of us particularly care for tomatoes enough to want to taste one on the street.
What we were really there for was to visit with our friends (Slice and Josh) as well as see a few relatives that live there (Brooke and Ian).
So I made a homemade picture frame
 |
| Yeah I actually spent precious time making this |
I carried this on the plane, into the hotel, and all around new Orleans. I even had offers from people on the street who wanted to buy it! Well, I guess it was only one offer... from a hot dog vendor... but an offer is still an offer.
Nonetheless, New Orleans proved to be just another crazy, wild, unpredictable weekend, that our friend Slices mom (who we call Big Slice) would refer to as "Naturally N'awlins".
I never quite did figure out what that term meant.. but for us it turned into this:
Moving furniture
 |
| Ian and Ryan picking up free furniture |
Getting kissed by strangers
 |
| Who is this guy? Where did he come from? Why is he kissing me? |
Moving more furniture
 |
| Two men and a Truck |
More kissing
 |
| PDA is okay if it is in a frame |
A little bit of this
 |
| The frame brings out the inner freaks |
 |
| Extra long straws should not go in the nose |
and a little bit of that
 |
| Showing their best tomato pose |
 |
| Brooke and Me |
 |
| 3D frame |
Naturally N'awlins
 |
| Free fancy dinner at Besh steak from the casino to us |
 |
| Brooke and Ian. They had no idea we were about to drink their entire wine cellar |
NOLA
The big easy
Naturally N'awlins
However you wanna say it, its always a hoot down there.
I probably don't need to tell you that.
I wonder what happened to that stupid frame?
