New Orleans


Derek and Ashley tied the knot the first weekend in November and we got to witness this special event in New Orleans! This was our first time to the party city and we had a great time. I've posted the photos on picasaweb for viewing but had to include a few favorites here. There were so many great sites. What a truly unique and fun wedding!


The day before the wedding we attended the Dashley's Amazing Race of the French Quarter. This was a fun and exciting was to truly get to see and know the area. Above is our team. We didn't come in first but had a blast along the way and that's all that matters. This was the last task, put on some wigs and take a photo a Fifi Mahony's Wig shop. Oh what fun!

Enjoying beignets at Cafe du Monde.

A kiss before following the brass band on a parade called the "Second Line." This is a New Orleans tradition where you follow the band and twirl a parasol or handkerchief in the air along the way (they provided these). This was lots of fun as we celebrated from the church to the reception at The Blue Room in the Roosevelt.


Before leaving we had another fun get away gift, masquerades for all.
