It’s been a long day. We didn’t get moving until 1 to get my mom and grab the 2:17 train to the city. I know, it’s a late start. Daylight savings messed with our sleep a bit. The flower show was on until 6 anyway. I think if the four of us go on a Sunday again, we should eat a big lunch and then go. We ate a big breakfast, grabbed a pretzel and nachos at the adjoining mall as a snack and then walked the walk, though mom was in a rented wheelchair. We always manage to miss something. I heard a woman say she loved the bayou with the steam. Well, we didn’t see that, yet Brian saw a photo of the exhibit on flickr. I shouldn’t complain as I took over 100 photos and did a video too! I haven’t uploaded or edited the video yet, but will tomorrow. However, here are some of my favorite people and some broad in beat up pink sneakers. : )
It was nice to have my guys along. Here’s the inside of the train on the 35 minute trip to the city. It takes us 45-55 minutes just to get to mom’s house first.
The guys took turns pushing mom around and helping her take photos. At the end, she ditched the wheelchair and walked around to see if she got to see everything!
Did I mention the theme was New Orleans?
I don’t wear sneaks a lot, but I had to today with all the walking we did. I know my ankle boots would look so much better, but it was comfort over looks here! I saw a young woman go in the show in about 3″ spike heels-she’s crazy! I am at least wearing my new glasses. This exhibit had lights pointing down (see the foot marks) so you could stand under the exhibit. Bri didn’t get he was suppose to take a shot of what was over my head along with me! But I am standing in the wrong direction too!
And for Zoey, our friendly blogger tablescaper:
This was a hot pink mylar like rug!
and this too:
Plastic or paper lights and tons of orchids. The other tablescape will be on my slideshow that I’ll put together later.
We went to Carrabbas Italian restaurant when we got back to mom’s area and enjoyed a nice dinner there. I guess I’m glad I went. I just love using that camera so much, but I like spending time with my family the best!
Collages & Creative Goodness 
Sounds like you got A LOT of great pictures – and I certainly like the ones you’ve posted so far! 🙂 I’m really glad you were able to go with your fellas and with your mom. There’s nothing to compare to time with family, is there?
I so enjoyed looking at all the pictures…sounds like you had a great day even though you started late:-) When I know I will be doing a lot of walking, I also wear my most comfortable shoes even if they don’t match my outfit! lol Love that picture of your Sean and your mom!! Can’t wait to see more pictures. xoxo
I think you look very nice in your walking shoes. I, too, go for comfort when I have to walk.
Thanks for thinking of me when you saw the tablescapes. That orange/pink is so popular this year. I really like it.
It must be so nice to be able to walk through a place with so many flowers this time of the year!
