We had our annual sales kickoff meeting in New Orleans this year. I knew I could not miss this event. I missed two other major meetings while pregnant or on maternity leave, so this one had to happen. However, I was not ready for my first trip being 3 days away from Eli. So, we got mom a plane ticket and headed out there together. We stayed at the Westin right on Canal Street by the River Walk, and we were in walking distance to the convention center, aquarium, and other fun activities -- well, at least for Eli and mom. Everything worked out great, and I could not of done it without mom. Thanks Mimi for all of your help - Eli had so much fun hanging out with you and exploring New Orleans!
Eli's second Flight to New Orleans! No better way to arrive than in his "Who Dat" onesie.
Celebrating Mardi Gras a little early :)
My Team at VMware
Love some New Oreleans musicians that just come around to your table. So much fun!
Some of Eli and Mimi Adventures. Wish I was there with them instead of a conference room.
Hanging with Mimi
VMware entertainment. And yes, I will be that one who stops in the middle of the road for a picture.
Kathy Griffin was our entertainment one night. It was fun to see her and try to make fun of the executives/company.
We love Alex, and we missed Rachel!! Alex and Rachel are long time Austin friends. We all started together at Dell, Charles married them, and now Alex and I work together at VMware. They recently moved to Kansas, so it was fun to catch up with him in the airport.
Finally on our way home. Eli was a champ both plane rides. On the way home we had "Captain Selfie" as our pilot. He literally goes around and takes selfies with everyone and then posts them on his instagram. We took full advantage :)
