This one's for you sis

This part is for my sister.  We took Rader to his first TN game against Oregon and I have been meaning to put his pictures up.  I have been telling Courtney that I would give them to her, but this post is for her.  Rader did so well even though we had an hour rain delay.  He did AWESOME!! I can't wait to spend many more Saturdays with him at the games.  

He loved people watching.

He was in awe!!! This is right when we walked out of the tunnel.

Football season is definitely in full swing.  Last weekend, I had the opportunity to go down to LSU for the Tennessee vs. LSU game.  Me and my dad took off for the weekend to head down and check out New Orleans.  Let me just say, it was quite an experience.  We flew out of Atlanta on Friday night and arrived in New Orleans just before 9:00.  This was my first trip to New Orleans so I wanted to see the city.  Even though it was so late, my dad was a trooper and took me "out on the town"  :) I wanted to see Bourbon street and the city.  It was insane.  There are no words that can describe this city.  You just have to see it for yourself.  Bourbon Street was nuts!! I had my expectations from the things that I had heard once before, but it far exceeded my expectations.  I definitely know why people call New Orleans "sin city" because it is fully of partying, bars, & crazy people.  We also had a chance to see the MS River, the French Quarters, Jackson Square, and have a wonderful beignet (which is basically a donut covered in powered sugar).  Now, the game on the other hand was not so much fun.  I must say that I was very angry after the outcome of that game, but my dad kept reminding me that it is just a game.  Crazy how I used to always have to remind him of that when I was little and now we have reversed roles.  haha Here are some pictures from our trip.

Here is a picture of Bourbon Street.  It didn't really show up because of how dark it was outside.  It was wall to wall with people, most which were drunk.

Here is a picture of the MS River.  You had to walk up stairs to be able to see it since New Orleans is under sea level.

Here we are on Bourbon Street.  It was so dark outside none of my pictures showed up!

This is where the New Orleans Saints play.  It was awesome!

This is where they keep the live Tiger.  I was disappointed because when we got there he wasn't there any more.
