So, I decided that I wanted to go back to New Orleans for my birthday this past year. My boyfriend was supposed to go with me and another couple but couldn't make it because of work. I was totally going to be the third wheel, but then I asked my very best friend, Lyndse and she said she'd LOVE to come!! So, to NOLA we went and a grand time was had by all!! Here are the pictures.
 |
| We stayed at the Andrew Jackson Hotel in the French Quarter. It was the perfect location, really!! |
 |
| This is the balcony to our room looking down on the courtyard |
 |
| The lovely little courtyard that we didn't really use very much. We were too busy running around the Quarter. |
 |
| Our lovely little group on Bourbon St. |
 |
| Random toilet on the sidewalk. Sure, why not?! |
 |
| Our group on Bourbon St. with our daquiris |
 |
| Lyndse's new boyfriend (Pat O'Brien's leprechaun) |
 |
| The morning after... Yikes! |
 |
| It rained a lot the second day. That's Cafe Du Monde across the street. |
 |
| We went to Evergreen Plantation on Day 2. I loved this bench, all covered in moss. |
 |
| And this swing, which some brat kid subsequently broke after I took this picture. What part of this swing says "Please let your brat try to swing on me!!"?? The rope and wood were obviously rotten. |

 |
| Black and white makes it extra spooky and haunted-looking, I think. |
 |
| Lovely staircase in the front of the house |
 |
| The slave quarters. It was raining cats and dogs and we were EATEN ALIVE by mosquitoes back here so we cut the tour short with a big fat F*%# this!! |
 |
| Tree-lined driveway |
 |
| Soaked to bone and possibly infected with West Nile Virus. Damn mosquitoes!! |
 |
| Playing with candles at Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop |

| Kevin and Helen |
 |
| More fun on Bourbon St. with the ladies. Obligatory mask purchased!! |
 |
| Lyndse and her boyfriend again |
 |
| Me and Lyndse |

| Nothing to see here... Just taking a water break... |

| ANDDDD, last but not least, the strippers who wouldn't let us take their picture!! I can't imagine why?! |
