You might be asking yourself right now, "Why is she jibbering about November when it's December?" Well, this past weekend we, my family, were able to celebrate my dad's birthday gift.
If you didn't know, my dad used to coach high school football. He has retired and now coaches junior high. Before he retired though, he was able to work with a lot of talented players. One in particular is now playing for the Atlanta Falcons. His name, Jerious Norwood. J-Rock as my calls him is a GREAT guy on and off the field. He has recently started a foundation. You can check it out here. My dad loves watching the games on TV and regularly sports his Jerious Norwood Foundation under armour gear around the house. So what better gift than tickets to see him play?!
Well luck would have it that the Falcons played in New Orleans this past weekend, and the rest of the family worked together to get everyone tickets, hotel rooms, and a car rental.
So off to the Big Easy we went as a family. The game was a lot of fun, my first professional game, but the best time was probably breakfast at Cafe Du Monde. The guy's first beignet experience. Lots of powered sugar and lots of laughs!
Even though dad didn't get to talk to Jerious and the Falcons lost (probably for the better, those Saints fans are anything but Saints) I think the weekend was a success with lots of fun! I've included some pictures from the weekend...
