I was looking forward to this weekend since I got the itinerary in the mail. The road trip included the newest member of the blonde squad, Kayan, the Crawfish Queen. When we got settled in our room with Courtney and Jade, the ten visiting queens and moms went to dinner at the House of Blues. Then, the next stop was a haunted history tour of the French Quarter. Our tour guide was... lets just say strange. After finishing, we got on the streetcar and rode to Creole Creamery where Kayla works. It was quite possibly the best ice cream I have ever eaten. When we tried to catch the streetcar back to the hotel, we ended up waiting for over an hour. Many interesting honks and stares happened with us waiting practically in the road.
After a long night, we woke up and attended mass in the St. Louis Cathedral. Business Suits weren't the most comfortable attire in the heat, but we changed into our formals for the presentation of the court. To see the little girls in white antebellum dresses was adorable. The ceremony was where Kayla's scepter was officially retired. It was sad to see her go, she always traveled with a smile on her face and there were few dull moments with her. She crowned her successor, Alexandra McLain Goodwin. After the carriage ride through the French Quarter, there was a formal presentation and dinner in her honor. Overall it was such a fun weekend in New Orleans!
