Disclaimer Two: Most of the pics were taken from my friend Mandi. Thanks friend for documenting our trip so well! :-)
And so we begin our journey to New Orleans...
Greg thought it would be best if he drove down. Mandi and James picked us up and we packed up and headed out! It was great to have some good company to travel the 7 hours with in the car!
Pitstop in Auburn for lunch...and of course, some Toomer's lemonade!
My lovely friend, Mandi!
Second Pitstop at random gas station. We ran into Auburn's coach and stopped in to get our picture with him!
Listening to his Kindermusik CD with headphones!
Arriving at the hotel to unpack before heading to the parade. Maria being gansta!

Love these girls! Mandi, Lizzy, Maria, and I had to hang tight as the only girls!
