That's what the weekend was. Instead of packing countless boxes and wrapping the contents of endless kitchen cabinets, the three (er, four) of us should have been unpacking our bags in a hotel room so we could enjoy the NOLA Jazz Fest. Instead of standing in lines at Target and other stores as we ran many errands related to the new house, we should have been standing in lines to get red beans and rice or crayfish beignets. Instead of picking weeds in the sun yesterday, I should have been sitting in my lawn chair enjoying yet another great performance (in the sun). And instead of dancing to Leh
r's iPod on Friday, Eli should have been dancing on a dance floor set up in a tent where Preservation Hall Band performed (live).This in no way means I am not happy to prepare for our move next week, but I really REALLY missed going to Fest this year. This is the first time Lehr and I have missed it since we started going in 2000...
So until next year, here are some pictures from last year, to remind everyone how awesome New Orleans is, especially this time of year.
