Easter Weekend & Pictures

This weekend was a really good one. It was filled with a lot of fun stuff (and some somber moments, too). Friday we went to Gulfport to do some outlet shopping and then drove down Highway 90 from Gulfport to Biloxi. That was amazing. Anyone that thinks New Orleans' man-made disaster is something to see, and it is, then the results of the natural disaster on the Mississippi Coast are required viewing.

Saturday, I ran in the Crescent City Classic and Jennifer and the kids met me at the finish line. After walking through the after party, we met Jennifer, Scott and Jack Walker at the Lakeside food court. Okay, memo to developers in this area....there is a need for another, centrally-located, shopping center. Let's just say there was a Christmas parking situation going on at that place. When we got home we dyed eggs and made cupcakes for Sunday.

Sunday was pretty cool. We met Nana, Papa, Nanie and Steve in Jackson Square for some Easter morning pictures. Some of them came out pretty good. I like the one above of Papa and Kate petting the horse with Cafe du Monde in the background. Then, we had brunch at the Sheraton. That was fantastic! Finally, we went to Gunny and Pappy's for the first official, post-Katrina holiday at their house since it was repaired. Felt like old times.

TV Moment

Classic moment watching TV with Justin last. Okay, it's 7:00.....Jennifer went to see Les Miserable at St. Paul's high school last night (let me just add to the mix, had I been watching that last night, I would have been miserable, too).....Kate has exited, reluctantly, for her beauty sleep. Time for Justin and Dad to watch TV. I was in the kitchen and Emeril Live comes on Food Network. Justin says, "Dad the guy that cooks on TV that you like is on. Want to watch?" I told him, "Yeah." He said, "Okay, let's watch. Can you get me some pretzels and Kool Aid." I did.

So, there we are watching the show. I asked him if he knew the chef's name. He said no. I told him the name was Emeril. He repeated it.

About five minutes later, as the show goes to commerical, I again asked what was the chef's name. His response: "Egg Roll". Sounds a lot like Emeril when you actually speak it.
