| Swamp Tour! |
...Steve and I took a little trip to New Orleans with 16 dear friends, all to celebrate our upcoming 40th birthdays! All friends from college and/or high school, we descended upon New Orleans from Minnesota, Colorado, California and Oregon to catch up, reminisce and have an all-around good time. Steve and I arrived early Friday morning, so we headed straight to Cafe du Monde for beignets and coffee. We had time to spare so we took a carraige ride around the French Quarter, then stopped at the Carousel Bar for a Milk Punch (my mom recommended we try this drink!). About that time our friends were starting to arrive, so we met up at Lafitte's (oldest bar in New Orleans).
Friday night we had a chef come to the Fleur de Lis Mansion (a bed and breakfast we rented for the weekend) and had a five course meal, featuring a crab and shrimp boil. That night we headed out to the local bars. Saturday we all went on a Swamp Tour, then to a nice dinner as a group (Colette's) and out again for the evening. Sunday we walked around the French Quarter and that night headed to Frenchmen Street for dinner and music. All in all a great trip with wonderful friends!
