Our Night in NOLA

 After I picked Dustin up from Camp Shelby on March 5th, we headed to NOLA to spend some kid free time together. We stayed at a great little hotel off of St. Charles Street. We took a street car straight down to Bourbon Street. Our first stop was to eat some awesome red beans and rice at Big Easy bar, and of course that was where we enjoyed our first beer together. =) After our bellies were full we headed down Bourbon Street, but not before running into a marching band that was going through heart of New Orleans.
We followed it all the way down Bourbon along with a mob of people. It was so amazing. I love NOLA so much haha. Anyway, we stopped in at a few bars and had SO much fun! One of our favorite stops of course was the Cat's Meow. It is this amazing karaoke bar, we probably would have passed it up if it wasn't for the sound of someone singing to Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody. We ended up staying in that bar most of the night. We followed it all the way down.                                 



We did a lot of dancing and a lot of singing... and well of course a whole hell of a lot of drinking haha!We met up with some friends, had a few more drinks and all I have to say is THANK YOU for public transit because we needed it haha. While we waited on the street car that brought us straight to our hotel, a man was trying to buy Dustin's shirt from him and offering us 'special pot' haha. Only in NOLA would a guy get high in the most populated area with cops across the street from him. He was really nice though lol I guess that counts for something! We hit the hot tub and relaxed for the rest of our nig... morning! The best part I think was waking up without a hangover and hitting the streets to eat at Primo's for lunch! Had some awesome Italian food and even though we had a blast... one thing about being a parent is it's just not the same without your kid to wake up to. And it's even more sad not to wake up next to your kid when he is a kick ass as Gauge is =)
