Our escapade started friday afternoon February 12. We stuffed ourselves in Jack's truck. Ourselves being Jack, Elise, and Heidi. We stopped along the way at a reststop (thus one of the photos above). We arrived in New Orleans around 4 am. We soon found our way to the party'n part of town... a psycho crazed person asked us for directions "cities!" he yells. We drive on and are accosted by (wouldn't you know it) Illinois boyz wanting rides to Tulane.. haha too bad we say... and end up parking in a lot and trying to get some sleep (photo also above) Jack and Elise took the bed while i had the cab. I must say i got the good end of the deal.

With two hours sleep we all woke up and attempted to find a restroom... if you didn't know, New Orleans is called the world's largest bathroom, for good reason; there are so few... Luckily we did find some and changed and started on our way... Found Bourbon st. and of course ISU boyz. Ended up meeting some, um we'll call them interesting, guys. Strangely enough we ended up meeting some guys from SIU that Elise knew at that very bar. So we hung out there and by 10am or so we all were a wee bit toasty... And yes i even drank beer! (no thanks to that evil bud light chic stealing my zima) but hey we all got t-shirts out of the deal :)

We ended up over at Pat O'Brien's for a while, then to the Cat's meow. Then again back to Pat O'Brien's. Now keep in mind there was a lot of wandering in between and we won't go into detail as to what went on between our destinations. Hee hee. All I know is that on our last visit to Pat O'brien's I was out of it (yes people were taking pictures of me) and we lost Elise so Jack was searching for her.

We wandered back to the truck in hopes of finding elise. I spent the next 2 hours puking, while jack worried bout elise... needless to say i passed out and Elise arrived back at 11 pm. "Good you're alive" was all i could muster to say.

We slept for a few hours then started our way back home. A full 24 hours spent in the sun :) Even with our small problems i think we all had a splendid time!
