My news is NOLA.....

We spent the weekend in NOLA with the family doing 'touristy' things that we haven't done in ages. We got up early Saturday morning and drove down to New Orleans making a pit stop at Paul's Pastry in Picayune. First stop, Magazine Street where we browsed my favorite grocery store, Whole Foods, then we made a stop by the doggie boutique Petcetera and purchased some gourmet treats for Einstein, then we has Nacho Mama's for lunch.



Next, we went to the aquarium. I had forgotten how big it was! By the time we were finished with the aquarium we were pooped so me, Mom, and Peyton went to the hotel and took a nap while Dad and Brett made a casino run. After we Brett finally drug my dad out of the casino we went to dinner at the Gumbo Shop. Yuuuummmmyyy! I got some seafood gumbo, crawfish salad, and bread pudding. Everything was delicious. We then walked around Bourbon for a little bit and had a hurricane....or two..... then off to bed we went. We got up early Sunday morning and walked down to Cafe Du Monde for some warm beignets before heading to the zoo.

I've always loved the New Orleans zoo with the white tigers. Last but not least, we made yet another stop at Whole Foods to eat lunch and pick up some dinner so we wouldn't have to worry about cooking when we got home. Very fun weekend!
