The Pompeii exhibit would be a hit with my whole family.
I like Mozart, but hate tequila, so that one's out.
The crawfish/Creole pig-out sounds tempting, but I don't like crowds.
I guess I'll just skip all the excitement.
Wow, that's a lot of choice, and a lot of good choice, too. I'd love to see Lord of the Dance, but it might be pricey. In its stead, I'd probably go to the crawfish event and the Mozart/margarita thing! You're so lucky to live somewhere with actual stuff going on. Jeez!
Oh, and I'd totally go to the Pompeii exhibit since I did a minor in classics at university.
Okay, I'd probably go for the Cinco de Mayo, because there's nothing better than a good fiesta, right? Close second would be Mozart and Margaritas... or the Crawfish Creole Festival. And that Matisse thing looks good too. I can't believe how absolutely spoiled for choice you are. Have a great weekend!
I am going to Central Bark on Palafox w Isabella to celebrate her six month birthday!
Wish I was going to Martina McBride concert!
Which did you pick?!!
Still trying to make up my mind! Hubby offered to pay for ticket to "Lord of the Dance." Hmmm. I want to see art. I want to do it all. We'll see. Maybe tomorrow the zydeco at the Crawfish fest - hubby can drive, drop me close and park. Wish I could figure out how to put sound in here, need to study - no time, I work, blog, sleep. Had better go to the Pompeii Exhibit soon - it will leave June 6. Went once to see the King Tut exhibit - oh my it was fabulous.
