Detto & I in New Orleans Final Post

After our romantic dinner at NOLA's we walked down to the square and took a carriage ride around the French Quarter. 

The house above is called the Cornstalk Hotel! It has a ton of history!

The carriage ride was really fun!

Afterwards I wanted my picture with the horse

Then the driver asked if I wanted to feed him.

I fed him a whole orange!

We also stopped in Cafe Du Monde

For some coffee and Beignet's!

It was PACKED!!

Our waiter was so fast and efficient that Detto decided to take his picture! LOL

Here we are!

 Enjoying our coffee & Beignet's!

Look what we found??We have been collecting pressed pennies from all over the USA and the world!

Sunday morning we finished our Marriage Enrichment class and we even had a re-dedication ceremony. Here is our certificate!

I had a lot of fun. Detto is such a great friend and hubby!

One of the restaraunts that we went to was Mr. B's!

The food was AWESOME!!

I ordered the Mr. B's sampler.

It came with an Oyster, Spring Roll, and Shrimp Ham and Spinach!

We had Bread Pudding for dessert. It tasted so light and Fluffy!

I loved it!

We also ate at Emeril's - NOLA!

We sat at the bar and watched the Chef's cook. This girl was really fun to watch.

She cooked with a 1200 degree wood burning stove. (or at least that is what she told us!)

Detto ordered Jambalaya.

I ordered the Chicken Wing Stuffed Spring Rolls! I must say they were... different.

What I LOVED was...the sweet potato's!!

They were heavenly!

The Chef recomended this for dessert...

The one and only... Ooey Gooey!

It was homemade Chocolate and Vanilla Ice Cream with some type of brownie or cake in it.

It was covered with chocolate topping and served with Truffles.

The truffles melted in your mouth and we covered with coconuts! 

This Steak was ordered by the lady sitting next to Detto.

He asked her how it tasted and...  She cut him off a big chunk for him to try!

Don't these just look YUMMY??

We asked our waiter to take a picture of us...

and this is what we got! LOL

Then he really took pictures!

I thought this one was cute,

because the chef was posing in the background!

Too Cute

Detto & I in New Orleans Part 3

More of our trip to New Orleans...

The Saint Louis Cathedral was really pretty!

There were neat artifacts in cases, I could not figure out what everything was for.

Like this umbrella. What do they do with it?

I liked the shell podium!

The statue of Joan Of Arc was really cool too!

I thought it was interesting that they comemorate the date the pope visits!

After we left the church we walked back outside to Jackson Square and look who we saw hanging out in New Orleans....

After that we checked out the gardens in the center of the square.

I love the church in the background.

This was such a peaceful garden area.

We walked around and checked out some the shops.

This one was one of my favorites.

It sold only linens...  the lace and table cloths were amazingly intricate and beautiful!

The artwork from the local artist's was everywhere...

Detto and I really enjoyed looking at all of it.

This guy was a "magician"!

We walked down and checked out the riverfront.

We got to check out the Muddy Waters of the Mississippi!

Then we got to watch the train go by!

After that we stopped by Ms. Laura's Candie Shop and heard all about how "Whoopie Goldberg shopped here once. See the picture?"

Check out what Detto is standing by... LOL

I thought this was pretty interesting.

I love history!
