Pitt Stop (New Orleans!!)
After our week in Perdido Key, we were so lucky to have a little extra time to drive to New Orleans for the day. We were married there two years ago & were anxious to go back & visit all of the places that made our wedding week so special. On the way, we stopped at the USS Battleship & did a small tour. It was pretty awesome to see a Battleship that was actually used in WWII!
We got into New Orleans around lunch time and the first thing we wanted to do was drive by the house that we stayed in. The good old house on Dryades St.! I guess the door still won't close.
We had many breakfasts at the New Orleans Coffee & Beignet Co., so we stopped there for Beignets before heading over to Audubon Park. It was such a beautiful day & so cool to see all of these places again. The park was just as beautiful as we remembered. The kids hung from the same tree that they all hung from for pictures the day that we decided to have our wedding there. Hank & Creag tossed football & we kicked a soccer ball around.
After we finished up at the park, we took a cab into the city. We walked around for quite a while & had dinner at an oyster joint. We rode the trolley back to the one place I missed out on, on the morning of the wedding. The Cheesecake Bistro. I was so sick, I couldn't stay the first time around so I'm so glad I got to indulge in a piece of Cheesecake this time around.
It was definitely an awesome day, in a city that we'll never forget & always hold dear. We hope to get back often!
