The Big Easy

I'm a well traveled little guy... Just before my 6 month birthday, I flew to The Big Easy (New Orleans, LA) with Mom and Dad for Dad's big Executive Council meeting.  None of us had ever been to NOLA before.  Mom was a little nervous since it's supposed to be such a crazy town, but Dad and I were excited!  As it turns out, we all loved it.  I was little hot at times, but we just popped into stores to cool off in the a/c as much as needed.  Mom got to see one of her good friends from college, who was a fabulous tour guide - thanks, Maeve!  Dad got to have a lot of fun with his colleagues. 

We all ate really, really well.  Here's the list Mom kept on her phone of all the amazing food:



Saturday:
Lunch at Mr. B's Bistro
Chicken & Andouille Gumbo
Duck spring rolls
Seafood Gumbo
Jambalaya

Dinner at Port of Call

Baked potatoes (aka: the only two things on their menu!)

Sunday:
Breakfast at Cafe du Monde
Beignets!  I got to have some powdered sugar!

Jazz Brunch on the Steamboat Natchez

And lots more than Mom didn't write down...

And here are pictures from the trip!  When can we go back!
