Oh wow oh wowo we got to go to a private concert by Journey!  While waiting to get in we talked to these nice ladies who were in charge of everything.  They were super nice and gorgeous and if they need help with a rowdy crowd they can call me for help anytime.

Here we are waiting for the concert to start.

Oh look I got to hang out with these beautiful ladies with VIP passes!!!!

The concert is starting!!!!

I wanted to get closer to the stage it was a little tricky there were so many people. I was good and did not try to scare anyone.

Ha ha look at me!  Lots of happy people at the concert!

Here I am with a beautiful lady I did not get her name it was so noisy!  She was really nice.

I had a great time at the concert!

New Orleans is sure a party town!  Some friends invited us to a party at the Aquarium!!!  It was fantastic!  I did not even care about the party the aquarium was incredible!

There are all kinds of fish and SHARKS in this tank!   OMG!

Look at this!  You can walk underneath this tunnel with fish all around you!

These seahorses are amazing!

Oh wow it is an otter!!!

AAAhhhhhhh!  Don’t let it bite me!

OMG it is a real live alligator!  There are lots of things here that bite!

This is April she is a diver with the Aquarium and a member of the Jolly Bobbers.  Ha ha ha!  I want to join that club I bet they have a lot of fun!  April is also a retired marine!  She was gorgeous and also knew all about the fish. In this display it is like the support of an oil rig so this is what it is like for the fish it is the part of the rig people don’t see.

And here are some friends Phil and Faunna. Oh wow Faunna is so nice and so beautifuuuul!  And Phil is very handsome, but not as handsome as me of course.

After that we went to another party. Look at this cool bar!  I wanted to order a bunch of drinks but Mom said No.

There was a great band and all kinds of shiny lights and Mardi Gras beads but it was hard to take pictures.  I had a really good time!

We had to spend a lot of time doing business stuff but we had some time to explore.  Here I am with a streetcar!

Look look look!!!  It is the Mighty Mississippi!!!

The French Quarter looks just like the guidebooks showed.

The French Quarter is so fun!  There are musicians everywhere.  I thought some of the best bands were the ones playing in the street.

This lady in the pink shirt and the man in blue were incredible dancers!  And it turned out they did not even know each other!

Here I am with an awesome dancer who was doing a street performance.

Look at this club — the Cats Meow!

You can get breakfast almost any time of day here. We’re having French Toast!  Ha ha! You can have French Toast in the French Quarter!

Aaahhhh!  Alligator!!!!    Hahahahahaha!

Mom is here for a business conference yes indeed. So we sit in education sessions all day long. I was very good and did not disrupt.

I got to go to some fun conference events like a big party. Here I am with a few thousand of my closest friends.

Mom why don’t we ever have food like this at home?  This is what tigers like not broccoli.

Oh wow look at me!!!  I got to jam with this totally awesome band!!!  The drummer was the BEST!

There were lots of beautiful ladies at the party.  I am starting to collect Mardi Gras beads!

This is my kind of a party!  This is Pat he let me try some of his beer! After that I wanted more but mom said NO.

Here we are at the Keynote Address. I do not know what that is but there were lots of cool flashing lights all different colors it was great!

Here we are at the airport OMG we are really going to New Orleans!!!!!

Wow look at this sign they have at the airport about tigers. There are not many of us tigers left in the world.

This is what you do at the airport. You stand around or sit and wait to get on the plane it is so exciting!!!  Everyone wants to get on first!!!

We are on the plane!!  We have a window seat so I can see everything going on outside!!!  I am so excited and nervous at the same time.

WHeeeeeeee  we are in the air!!!!  Look at how beautiful it is!

Here is the view inside the plane.

OMG we are really here in New Orleans!!!!!

Mom is starting to pack for a business trip!  Please can I come please please please please I will be good I promise this time please please??  Mom says she is not going to Indonesia. But I still want to go along please please??  I am a good tiger and a good travelling companion!

Mom says I can go oh boy oh boy oh boy I can hardly wait should I travel in the purple REI backpack or the black tote bag??? We are travelling light yes we are that’s how tigers travel no checked luggage for us I am not travelling in the cargo hold no way.

Here are all the things I want to bring it is not much it will take up no space at all!  OMG I will not sleep a wink all night mom told me we are going to NEW ORLEANS!!!   It will be my first time on a plane oh gosh I hope I don’t get airsick.

Auntie Darcy is still visiting Indonesia.  We are not.  Mom said we are not going there.  But we have pictures of the adventures Aunt Darcy is having.

I  had to photoshop myself in.  Since I cannot be there.

I love motorcycles!  Hahaha!

Mom we should totally go to Indonesia someday.

Here is Auntie Darcy surfing!  She has been surfing most of her life.  I  bet she never rode with a tiger before!!!  I bet they have lots of tigers in Indonesia!

Wow we have been having so much fun lately!  Yesterday we went to the department of licensing!!   where you go to get your drivers license!  OMG all this time I have been riding around in the car with Mom….I thought she had a license!  Mom said that she just needed to get her license renewed.  A likely story.

I got to go to work today.  First there was an important department meeting at an “off site” location.  It was great!   We should have more meetings!

Then I got to play in Mom’s office. She got this totally awesome computer that is just the right size for a small tiger!

Later I had a good time with all the equipment that mom left laying on her desk. You can’t expect me to ignore a fun pile of stuff like this with all kinds of things to get tangled up in.  I mean to help straighten out.  I like to help.  Mom is always saying what a big help I am.

First this weekend we did some gardening.  Me and Dixie looked at the flowers while Mom worked in the yard.

Later on back in the house me and Jimi got in trouble!  We were playing and I am not exactly sure how it happened but somehow the big water bowl got knocked over and spilled everywhere!  Jimi really likes his catnip toys but it was not his fault!  It was not my fault either these things just happen sometimes!  Mom came in and said who made this big mess? She needed 3 towels to clean it all up.  Me and Jimi had to go to his room for a timeout.

This is the water bowl where it happened. I said we should do a re-enactment to get a good photo but mom said NO.

Later Mom got out her suitcase. Uh-oh. This may not be a good thing.

But maybe we will be going to join Auntie Darcy in Indonesia!  She sent us pictures of her working hard doing geologist stuff on a business trip.  ha ha I photoshopped myself into this but I came out fuzzy!

It is good weather today !! So we went for a bike ride on the John Wayne Iron Horse Cedar Falls Snoqualmie Trail. It’s a long trail with a long name. I think the name changes when you are on different parts of the trail. We did not see John Wayne.

We went over some cool bridges!

Mom tried to get some action photos of me on the bike while it was moving!  Ha ha that was hilarious! Mom we should get a basket for me to ride in.

It was a beautiful sunny day!

Here I am trying to steer while mom takes pictures. I  think we need one of those helmet cams.

There was lots of pretty scenery. I wanted a photo of some flowers for Dixie. You should not pick the flowers just leave them for everyone to enjoy.
