New Orleans: Day 3

Today was all about the ASHA conference. Jason and I were up early so I could get to the convention to get things ready for the morning presentations. Jason was great to help out and do his homework while I stayed plenty busy with work and sessions. Here are a couple pictures from our day:

We will have more pictures tomorrow that will probably be more exciting than conference picutres.

New Orleans: Day 2

Today was the first day of the ASHA Convention (American Speech-Language Hearing Association). This is the real reason that we have come out to New Orleans, was to support Lisa in not only her professional development, but to interact and connect with many people in her same field.


While Lisa was in conference sessions learning and networking, I got to check out all the free stuff in the vendor hall.





Can you say S.W.A.G.?




Afterwords, Lisa and I were able to see more of New Orleans. We got to eat at a Chef John Besch restaurant called Luke. It was really fun, especially because we had a great seat next to the kitchen, which was surrounded by glass so you could watch the food being prepared. It is fun to wander in New Orleans, because the very informative street signs help keep you straight.




And here is a picture of Lisa sporting her ASHA Badge.

New Orleans: Day 1

We made it to New Orleans! After a quick red-eye flight we made it to the Big Easy this morning and have spent the whole day exploring. Here are some things we found:


We found the Mississippi River (how could you miss it?)



We found the French Quaters




We visited Jackson Square and St. Louis Cathedral

We stumbled upon Bourbon Street (maybe stumbled was the wrong word)

We also managed to eat a lot of food, including gumbo, jambalaya, and a muffuletta (pictured below). We also took a trip to the Art Gallery to view some artwork.

I know it looks like we fooled everyone in believing that this is actually supposed to be a "buisness trip," but I promise I will get to work tomorrow because the conference is starting and I will be busy learning and assissting the presenters. Personally, I am just excited for all of the free stuff!

We are having a blast and will upload more pictures tomorrow.

Halloween Time

This is a picture of our halloween costumes. Jason was a Ghostbuster and I was a ghost.



For some reason Jason and I were out hiking one day after work and we pulled out the camera and pretended to take scary pictures of each other. We then came home and played with the pictures a little bit and we ended up with these.
