Matt and I decided to make it a little tradition for ourselves to take a quick weekend trip right before Thanksgiving every year! This time last year we were headed down to Bradenton Beach Fl, but this go-round we detoured to Jackson, MS and New Orleans! It was my turn to show him my stomping grounds from the places I would go during the earlier years of my life.
We stayed in the lovely Le Pavillon hotel, which is a historically French landmark built in 1907 It was just 6 blocks from the French Quarter. It was quite fancy with the doorman greeting you outside in tails and gloves and top hat. Too bad we missed out on their traditional 10pm PBJ's and hot cocoa!
We found ourselves at Cafe du Monde for our daily beignets and cafe au laits! Sooo yum!
We hung out a bunch at Harrah's to watch the games, gamble a little, and ate at so many good places! (Mothers, Jacques-Imo's, Central Grocery, Bourbon Street!) We got to see a little bit of the North End of the city while we passed by Tulane, the huge mansions on St. Charles Ave, and the Real World House! Next time we'll be sure to hit up Willie Mae's Scotch House, ACME Oyster Bar, and take a carriage ride through the French Qtr!
Thanks NoLa for showing us a great time! We can't wait to come back!
