Just a quick recap of out weekend in New Orleans. 

LML had a meeting immediately upon arriving in the city, so off I went wandering to locate me some grub.  (We were running late so no time to stop and get lunch on the way.)

I know that plate may not look appetizing, but that was the best MOLE enchiladas and refried beans that I have ever eaten.  The sweet and saltiness of the two combined made for a Delicious lunch.  Too bad, I was so hungry that I forgot to take a picture before attacking the plate. (I cannot remember the name but it was located at Julia and Tchoupitoulas street.)

LML and I met up after his meeting and preceded to wander all over the french quarter before stopping for dinner at Bacco.   We both thoroughly enjoyed our meal. 

The Farmers Market Salad (Definitely a winner!)

My veal dish (I am blanking out on the specific name) with the most perfect pasta underneath it.  I could have eaten a plate of the pasta alone!

The old cotton exchange, now some bank...just another pretty building

Saturday, LML and I woke up fairly early for us and began to wander the city.  We ate lunch at Mother's.  It was his first trip to this place, and I think he enjoyed it.

After lunch, we went to the WWII museum.  I highly recommend anyone who has the time to check it out.  I enjoyed the exhibit, just wish we had gone on a weekday when it would not be so crowded.

Following the museum, we wandered again before going to casino for my husband.  Have I mentioned how much LML adores a buffet.  I am definitely not a buffet type of gal, but I tried to put on my big girl britches (literally and figuratively) and not complain.  

We had a good time people watching at the casino.  We saw one girl run into her grandparents unexpectedly and introducing them to her boyfriend for the first time.  All I gotta say is, that is not something I would enjoy.

After the casino, we walked around the town again (can you catch the theme of the weekend yet?).  I do love to walk places.  It was one of my favorite aspects of Charleston.  We saw the leprechaun below and I could not pass up a chance to show you where the pot of gold might be located.  

And what trip to New Orleans is complete without a stop at Cafe du Monde.  LML and I split an order of beignets which I dipped in my Cafe au Lait.  What a great way to cap off a long day before going to bed.

We got early the next morning and went to church at the St. Louis Cathedral.  It was a wonderful service with a magnificent organist.  I loved the music.
After Church, we ate brunch at Court of Two Sisters for their Jazz Brunch Buffet.  While I previously stated that I do not like buffets, I will make an exception for this one.  They have pate for goodness sakes.  I love their eggs benedict and their creamed spinach (not a fan of most creamed spinach dishes).  

My delicious brunch

It was wonderful weekend, but LML and I were both ready to head home.  We have some exciting things going on in our life!  I cannot wait to share them with you soon!
