We went down to New Orleans to watch the Virginia Tech vs. Auburn football game at the Sugar Bowl on January 3rd, 2005. We arrived around noon on New Year's Day and took in the sights and sounds and left on the 4th. Angela, Lianne, Tommy, Susan, and Hole joined us for the trip. The picture above is from hokiesports.com and it pretty much shows what it was like every day! I love this picture!

I guess they wanted our beads - they didn't get mine!

Having fun as the pimp daddy!

Life is good down here!
