N'Awlins!!

Tonight was probably most definitely one of the most fun nights we have had to date. It started with an early morning goodbye to Wrigley, Jordan, and Victoria, and we got on the road for another long day of driving. Most of the day was spent enjoying 60 degree weather and the first hint of humidity we've seen in months, then we hit the Louisiana state line. Then it poured, heavily, all the way to the hotel.

No hurricane, just normal Louisiana swampland.

When we arrived at the Queen and Crescent in the french quarter, we were greeted by the Valet guy, aka Denzel Washington. He was very nice and took good care of Ian.  Once we got to our room, Eric was very quick to inform us that the classic historical New Orleans-syle room gave him the heebie jeebies, and it reminded him of the room in the movie 1408. As comforting as this was, we decided to leave and go out.

Kelly and Tom found an awesome local place for us to eat, drink, and listen to some local jazz. It was called The Three Muses, and it was easy to find from our hotel after a quick drive down Bourbon Street to see some of the sites. The food was delicious, the drinks were exquisite, and the band was awesome! Tom re-discovered his passion for whiskey. As the night went on, more and more people who were walking by came in and joined the band. It was a very fun experience in a very cool timeless atmosphere.

Absolutely unreal.

I was born in the wrong generation.

Big Easy

To her credit, she got the only flavor without everclear.

While Tom and Kelly went out after for some extra exploring on bourbon street for some fun-cup slushies, we are all very excited to see the town in daylight and full color tomorrow (after bourbon street has been bleached) and experience the tradition and culture that comes from this historic and beautiful city.

If Tahoe is heaven, Bourbon Street is hell, and so much more fun.
