Michael came with me to New Orleans for my IACAC conference. He had never been to New Orleans before so it was a fun little getaway.
 |
Our first taste of Burbon Street. |
 |
| Enjoying lunch on one of the many balconies. |
 |
| Along the Mississippi River. |
 |
| Celebrating our (belated) anniversary at Compere Lapin. |
 |
| The next morning at the St. Louis Cathedral. |
 |
| We took a walking tour of the French Quarter and just loved the iron work. |
 |
Of course, we had to go to the cemetery. |
 |
| The New Orleans Musicians Tomb where any NoLa musician can be buried. |
 |
| Maybe this is where the Voodoo Queen, Mary Laveau, is buried? |
 |
| A view of the three benevolent society tombs. |
 |
| This will be Nick Cage's final resting place some day. So strange! |
 |
| A relative of the Voodoo Queen! |
 |
| Of course, we then headed back to Bourbon Street to meet up with friends at the famous Pat O'Briens. |
 |
| We ended up at a bar where the bartender was very eager to make us her favorite drinks. Fancy a "shark attack" anyone? |
 |
| How about a "horny gater?" |
 |
| And our bartender Trina. |
 |
| The next day Michael rode with me to my conference at Tulane. Here he is on the street car! |
 |
| After my conference, we went for a treat at Cafe du Monde. Beignets for everyone! |
 |
| The closing event for my conference was at Mardi Gras World. How cool are these floats? |
 |
Our final morning, we went to Brennan's before heading to the airport. I had a baked apple for breakfast. |
