NOLA!

Chris and I had such a fun trip to New Orleans in honor of our 10th (whoa!) anniversary and to visit my brother and his girlfriend. It was a great get-away!

 

Our hotel, the Frenchman Hotel, on Frenchman Street was classic New Orleans charming! Only on the last day did we realize that the club across the street had a show that STARTED playing at 1:30 am! That's why we would wake up around that time every night! But oh well, this place was a great location and I'd recommend it to anyone who doesn't want a hotel chain and wants to be within easy walking distance of some great venues.

Check out the little hot tub! Perfect after walking all day!

 All we did was eat! My favorite breakfast spot was Stanley, right off Jackson Square, for it's classic breakfast (below), iced coffee and pancakes topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. (Thank you, KW!) We also enjoyed great meals at Emeril's NOLA, at Herbsaint in the CBD, and creole shrimp at Coop's Place off Decatur. 

 

 

Thank you to Guy and Liz for being our tour guides and taking us to this place off the beaten path. Yes, I tried the Praline Bacon and it was worth the calories.  

 

We hope everyone had a great thanksgiving! Chris and I have so much to be thankful for!
