SPRING BREAK 2011...

Jack and I haven't been on a vacation by ourselves in a long time. We decided to take a fun trip together to celebrate our anniversary. It was lots of fun. We hit up New Orleans with our friends the Abraham's. Here are some of the many things that we did.
We got in early on Sunday morning. We went to Brennan's and enjoyed a very nice brunch. We ate the famous Banana's Foster for dessert. It was so good. We even got photographed while we ate. Hopefully, we can see ourselves in the October issue of Nat G O. We will see.

 

After touring the town, we hit up Pat O's for happy hour. It was a beautiful day to sit on the patio and enjoy.

 

A picture of Bourbon St. It was a happening place.

 

The next morning we waited in line to get a taste of Cafe Du Monde. We waited for 20 min. It was well worth it.

 

We spent most of Monday walking around and exploring. We ate lunch at a little sandwich shop, and then headed out for Sushi that night. Before sushi, we made a stop by a bar. This bar was like a carousel. You sat in the seats and they rotated around. It was just a neat experience.

 

On Tuesday, we did a lot. We ate lunch at Acme Oyster house. We got very lucky and didn't have to wait in line. By the time we sat down, they had a long line starting down the block. We then went to Harrah's and I won $80.00. Not what I was expecting to get, but it was a start.

 

We headed out for a river boat tour on the Mississippi. We got to see a lot, and made a stop at a Plantation and a Battle of New Orleans battle field. It was a nice afternoon.

 

After our tour, we went back to the hotel and had hit up HH. While on vacation I tried some new things. One of which was a raw oyster. I look pretty funny in this pic, but I had to capture the moment. It wasn't as bad as I thought, but I don't know if I would make it a habit.

 

On our last night we went to Emerial's restaurant, NOLA. It was a fantastic meal. As we were leaving dinner, we saw that they were filming a movie with Brad Pitt in it. It will be interesting to see it when it comes out. We didn't see him, but heard he was there.

 

Wednesday was the day we left to come home. We picked up some souvenirs for Maggie and ate lunch at Stanley's. I was very sad to leave, but I was very excited to come home to my baby! She missed us lots.

 

We had a fantastic time on vacation. I really loved New Orleans and all that it had to offer. Right now I am trying to soak up the last few days home with Maggie. We have done so much.
