NOLA Jazz Fest

 It has been over a month since our last post! A lot has happened. Tré Lilli turned two years old this April and we participated in our first big-time art festival - the contemporary craft fair at Jazz Fest in New Orleans. While driving through the city, it became clear that NOLA could be a 2nd home for Tré Lilli...what with the colorful cottages and the laughter and lightness of the residents. It is beautiful to see a city that has witnessed so much difficulty thriving and enjoying itself. I know the road to recovery is a long one, but I was inspired by what I saw and the mood, while I'm sure many residents would say it can never be the same, seems uplifted and clearly very much alive. Y'all sure were hospitable, NOLA. We look forward to visiting again soon! And we also highly, highly recommend a ride to New Orleans on Amtrak's Crescent, which travels from the Big Apple to the Big Easy, by way of the Magic City, thank you very much!

Corner booth by the Gospel Tent - beautiful weather and great music kept our energy up all weekend long.
A sight for sore eyes: father and daughter sharing a tent at Jazz Fest!
