So momma and I rolled out to NOLA last Thursday, in case you hadn't heard. We decided a little R and R was desperately in the cards. This would most likely be our last bit of travel for a while, so we took advantage of the opportunity, packed our bags, traded in CC points and visited our favorite non-Texas, stateside city.
We have always loved the culture, architecture, libations and FOOD! Both of us dig seafood, and a little cajun spice goes a long way for these two! We visited the traditional spots as well as some new ones while hanging with Kimberleys cousin Hunter. H is a student at Tulane; he provided us with a quick tour of the Garden District and joined us for the usual haunts in the Quarter. We met his gf Margot as well, which was a pleasure.
Heres a quick menu: 1/2 dozen shrimp and oysters, steak, veal, rabbit sausage, gumbo, meat pies, crawfish omelette, bananas foster french toast. It was all excellent!
We needed the time away from everything, and laughed more than we had in a while. Good times in the Big Easy for sure! The weather was perfect as well, great for all those many blocks to traverse while window shopping. If you haven't gone to NOLA since the flood, please do. They need the support and you will be very happy with how they have recovered so far.
We saw Cash the Thursday we left, as well as on our return Sunday. He looked great, and maintained his o2 level at 21% the whole time we were gone! Thanks for all the prayers in helping to make this little miravle happen, they have truly blessed us all. He is up to a whopping 4 lbs 13oz now! When he hits 5 lbs, I will be spinning REK's "% lbs Bass" over and over in the truck that day! Ha!
