NOLA

This weekend we hit the road to wonderful New Orleans. Our trip served several purposes - A.) We haven't been in a year, so it was just time. B.) We wanted to see Ole Miss play, and they happened to be playing Tulane at the Superdome on Saturday, and C.) We were lucky enough to get some free tickets to Sunday's Saints game. What a fun weekend!

We went with our friends Katherine and Paul, and we really had a great time. We ate at this great little restaurant on Friday night near Frenchman's Street that we just stumbled upon. It was a speakeasy theme with traditional New Orleans food. SO GOOD. Saturday we watched the Rebels whoop the Green Wave 39-0 and then wandered around the French Quarter for most of the afternoon and evening. It was a perfect day.

Then Sunday Derek and I met up with Uncle Rusty, Uncle Sib and Aunt Terri (and our old friend Ziggy) for brunch before walking to the game. Our seats were great, and it was so exciting to be in the midst of all that action.

 

Too bad the Saints lost it in the end (they were winning by a good bit when we actually left the game), but it was still fun.

Those NOLA trips will wear you out though. We're just now recovering two days later! But it was worth it for the memories. :)
