Friday morning Ross and Laura picked us up for our road trip to New Orleans! We wanted to do something to celebrate our men turning 30!! We've only been once and wanted to go back to see more. Laura went to school there so she was a great tour guide and we had a great time!
Our place in the French Quarter! We were a block away from all the fun!
The inside was so nice!! It was so great to have a hang out space!
Hanging around Bourbon St watching football and people watching :)
Checking out the channels in Uptown. It was 75 degrees and this was a beautiful park we walked through.
My adventure bud! He's the best to travel with!
Great Po Boys and cheese fries at Parkway Bakery!
We got to meet up with Cole Friday afternoon and went to a piano bar! We hadn't seen Cole since Christmas so it was nice to catch up. We did a bar hop of the French Quarter. He couldn't do dinner with us, but we went to a fancy French place that night then out dancing!
The guy with the washboard was so good!
This transformer man was pretty good. Down the street from our place they were shooting scenes for NCIS:NO! Didn't see anyone famous that I knew though.
Of course we ran into a lot of interesting people. You definitely have to be open-minded in a place like NO :) I love traveling to new places. So much history and tradition in NO. Some bizarre people too, all good for a laugh. After some brunch and walking around Saturday, it was football time! Bama won the SEC championship so Ross was excited. Then we went to the business district to go to the Manning's restaurant and bar. It was a win-win. I got to see the Manning boys and all their accomplishments on the walls and Derek got to watch GT play! GT played well, but in the end couldn't beat Florida State. They just didn't mess up! Derek was still excited about them beating Georgia last week, so it wasn't too painful of a loss! Go Jackets! On to the Orange Bowl! We wish we could go, but hotels for Miami on NYE are not worth those crazy prices!
Huge TVs at Mannings. We counted 28 TVs in there I think? The lights in the business district were fun!
Sunday we had brunch at a cool place then went to the Saints vs Panthers game. It was Derek and I's first NFL game. The dome was huge! We had great tickets on the 50. NO didn't play good at all, but Cam Newtown sure did! It was crazy how big those guys are and so many fights broke out during the game. Pretty wild! After the game we ran to the car and headed back to Birmingham. We were ready to see our Nugget! 3 days was too long, but I know he had so much fun with Cait, Mimi, Poppy, and his cousins. He got a great report and sweet Cait kept him up til 830 so we could see him before bed :) Thanks guys!!
