Well, while the boys and I stayed behind to celebrate New Years Eve without Dad, Jeff was off to New Orleans for the Sugar Bowl. It would have been fun for all of us to go but it would have been a bit too expensive so we sent Jeff off with his sister Adrienne and a friend Michelle to party it up. Like I said they flew out on a Charter plane on New Years Eve. It was nice going this way because they didn't have to worry about connections or luggage getting lost. They spent New Years Eve at a Crimson Club party and then some time on Bourbon Street. Jeff said that by 11:30 things were getting a bit schetchy so they ended up back in the hotel room to ring in the new year. I didn't ask for details, I figured it was best for me not to know them. There was another crimson club party on the 1st and then a tailgate party before the big game. Between the parties and all the places Jeff's dad told them to go eat, I think Jeff was ready to die from overeating. They ate some interesting things and just had a blast taking in the sites of New Orleans. They took a tour the day before the game. It took them to some sites. Old cemetaries, buildings and some places where Katrina hit hard. Jeff said it was so sad to see how devestating it was and what a mess things still are down there. Then of course there was the game. They had great seats. They were 1st row right behind the goal post. They were so excited about that. To show how nervous Jeff was he didn't eat or drink anything at the game and for Jeff that is big. He is always up for a diet soda and a pretzel. But of course after an amazing and hard hitting game, Utah prevailed and beat the Crimson Tide of Alabama 31-17. No one predicted them to win let alone dominate the game. They were never behind and Jeff loved every minute of it. They flew back early the next day and we spent most of the rest of that day rewatching the game. Here are some pictures of his fun experiences.
This is Jeff outside the bus they used to transport back and forth from things going on.
