This is Saturday night on Bourbon!

Tripp and I went to New Orleans for some of our great friends wedding! (CONGRATULATIONS Chad and Tytti!) The weekend began on Friday morning when I took Emma to meet Gigi and Pops in Scooba for the weekend. Then Tripp and I were off! We rode down with our friends Smitty and Jessy...and boy did we have fun! We cut up and told stories the whole ride! We finally made it to NO about 5 on Friday evening and Smitty and Jessy had to go to the rehersal/dinner. Tripp and I checked in and then it was time to hit Bourbon. We found a fun little place to eat and enjoyed shrimp po-boys together. Next we walked down and pulled up a table on the front row of Pat O'Briens piano bar! We sang and sipped and sang some more. Smitty and Jessy called us and said that they were almost finished with all the wedding festivities planned for that night so Tripp and I walked back to the hotel to freshen up and catch our second wind. By this time it was about 10:30-11 we caught up with everyone from the wedding party and hit bourbon again...this time settling in the Urban Cowboy (a country bar with a mechanical bull) We had so much fun watching intoxicated professional bull riders. We laughed all night (we also tried to be professionals ourselves). We made it back to the hotel by about 2:30-3 exhausted! Saturday we had a full day of beingets and shopping! The wedding was at 5:30 and BEAUTIFUL! Next it was on to the reception at the House of Broel (a beautiful antibellum home in the heart of NO) Everything was so beautiful and elegent with New Orleans style and traditions! It was a fun time had by all! After the reception everyone wanted to change and get a little more comfortable..which we did...and hit Bourbon again...which we did! This time we had a bigger crowd and a lot more fun! We drank and danced....and drank some more! Finally we found our way back to the hotel, but not before a stop at the all famous Krystal (Welcome to King Krystal, where we do it your way...BUT don't get CRAZY!!!) After clogging a few more arteries...we hit the bed...Now we are home talking about how much fun we had!

Emma on the other hand had just as much fun as we did with Gigi and Pops. (I have to get pictures from mom) They picked up pecans and played with play dough and many other things. The key note to the weekend was Carl GRADUATED!! Congratulations Carl! YAY....after 6 years...11 months...29 days...and 23 hours...You did it and we are so proud of you!!! PS...Happy Birthday!!
No promises but when I get pictures I will post!!
