NOLA

I was lucky enough to get to go to NOLA at the end of June for Junior Olympics with the volleyball team that I coach.  It was such an amazing experience for the girls (and coaches too!).

The cuisine in New Orleans is amazing and this trip didn't fall short.

 Can't come to NOLA and not try alligator, so here is Gator Andouille Sausage.

 One of my favorite low key restaurants in New Orleans is the Rum House.  They have great drinks and about 20 different tacos.

 Shrimp and Grits

Shrimp PoBoy

We were able to do some sightseeing while we were in New Orleans and I am still amazed by the beauty of the cemeteries there. 

Of course this trip was centered around volleyball and there was plenty of that!

Lunch Break!

Big win on Day 3 to secure our spot into the Gold bracket and continue on with our win streak of 8-0.

 

 The win that placed us into the finals!  10-0 at this point.

Finals here we come!!!
