BCS Busting in The Big Easy!

 


We've got some really great friends! Actually, "really great" would be an understatement. As I'm sure all of you are aware, the University of Utah Utes football team just finished their perfect season with a big win in the Sugar Bowl. We were lucky enough to be there because our friends Mark and Marilyn Stevens and their family were going down and were generous enough to ask us if we would like to come along. We spent an amazing week in New Orleans. We took a Swamp Boat Tour and saw some gators, had dinner on a River Boat, listened to some Jazz music, visited the Aquarium, saw New Year's fireworks shot from a barge on the Mississippi River, hung out in the French Quarter (with a quick visit to Burbon St.), rode the Street Car (don't call them Trolley's), ate some French Bignets, walked along in the Garden District of New Orleans and saw some pretty amazing plantation style homes, ate some amazing cajun food, and that was all aside from watching Utah whip Alabama in the Sugar Bowl. It was an amazing trip, one that we never would have been able to do on our own and we can't thank the Steven's enough for their generosity and allowing us to tag along.
