let's talk strawberries...







strawberry fest goodness for everyone!!! woohoo!!!










although this happened ages ago i thought that i would share something relevant to life in new orleans (well, louisiana, anyway). a few saturdays ago gavin, stephanie, nick, and little ol' me went to the strawberry festival in ponchatoula, louisiana. although it was hot as hell, a good time was had by all. we had all of the alcoholic strawberry concoctions one can imagine (and then some), not to mention some fried food, food on a stick, and food that we just stared at wondering if people really ate that crap. we played some carnival games, wandered around, i got an airbrush tattoo of a fleur de lis (cus really i just want to be like meeg- :P ), and I rode roller coasters (because the three other adult i was with were just too scared to ride them- note in the photo that the kid i'm sitting next to can't be older than 7 and then think of the 3 30 year olds standing on the ground watching!). it was fab fab fun and here are some pics for your enjoyment!

Mmm, strawberries. Incidentally I saw Abita's Strawberry Festival Ale at Whole Foods the other day and figured I had to try it. It's not really my favorite though. Has Gavin tried this?

I love the pic of you on the ride with the kids. Also, that would be a hot tattoo.

yeah, gavin has had the strawberry ale and he said that it's really good this year. i think you should at least get a six-pack and give it a shot.
as far as the tat goes, i'm totally getting one, but i'm going to wait to get it until right before we leave. i think i've pretty much settled on getting in on my arm where it is in that pic, but a bit smaller than that. i think it looks hot, don't you?
