Crescent City Classic

In what is becoming a Ferguson family tradition, we went to Louisiana on Easter weekend and participated in the Crescent City Classic.  The Classic is a 10K race that goes from the French Quarter to City Park.  Wes ran it in a good time - about 52 minutes.  Angela, Rachel and I, on the other hand, ran parts and also enjoyed the charm of the city and the entertainment of the crowd as we walked along with the 22,000 or so participants.

There were plenty of water stations along the route...as well as a kind person giving out powdered donuts.  Too bad the decline in the economy seems to have knocked out the hot dog handouts that we enjoyed last time.

Oma even joined us for much needed transportation assistance and to cheer for us at the finish line.  Next time she will be walking with us and maybe we can even convince the rest of the family to get up early and join the fun.
