We took a quick trip to New Orleans last weekend. This was my 7th trip to that shining city in a bowl. It was 3 couples, Matt/Melissa Coker-Lewis, James and Karen Chenoweth and the Nowaks. Karen's birthday was celebrated and also our 1 year anniversary.
We LOVE those hand gernades. They are deadly, but so good and will last you hours.
My college friends will appreciate my stop at the Tropical Isle bar. We've taken so many of these parrot pictures, it's actually kinda sad. But you HAVE to if you go...it's a New Orlean's must.
Where the New Orleans bowl description comes into play was when the MONSOON hit. The streets flooded so quickly!! WE were "trapped" in a bar on Bourbon St. We are somewhere in that angry red spot.
We didn't mind though. It only affected what we wore to dinner: a nice dinner at Bourbon House. Karen didn't get to change from this sexy number....
Trip HIGH-lights:
-Laughing (after many drinks) about canoeing to and from bars.
-The DJ telling us to "Fist Pump like a Champ" an awesome reference to MTV's Jersey Shore
-Josh accidentally punching in a window at a bar...where they kept cats. Odd.
-Josh sneaking off to buy street beer (cheaper) then popping back in our bar
-James and Matt eating WAY too many oysters
-Bourbon St. cops grabbing Josh, insisting he peed in the street...obviously did NOT, they let him go, handed him his beer and said " Don't let us catch you back here again"...in Louisiana?? New Orleans? Stupid!!
-NEVER stop at LA border town bathrooms....wait til you get to Beaumont. Trust me.
Shelby puppy stayed with Ashlee and Jill. They are awesome, we missed our baby pup. Can't wait for Christmas!! So close!
