Thanksgiving Weekend

We had a wonderful time in New Orleans with our wonderful friends.  Great food too!

Our first stop was Cafe Du Monde..


great music too!


resting before hitting the street!




Dinner was at the hotel..  fabulous.  turkey and all of the fixings..  it was perfect. way too much food but perfect.

Friday: Eric and I visited with a few friends of his brother Ray's.  then walked around town..




we met for early dinner at Acme Oyster House..




after dinner we headed to the casino.. where they took our money!  it did take about an hour and a half, so we did have some fun...

World War 11 Museum is a must see..


we stopped for Char broiled oysters before meeting the others for diner..  they were the best...

Gumbo Shop...
jambalaya and a sazarec!

shrimp etouffee, jambalaya and gumbo

of course on Burbon Street you can get

since we had an early dinner...  After walking around town, listening to some music, seeing some sites we stopped at Franks for a Muffaletta.  we took it back to our hotel pool area with a couple of local beers and had a feast!  too much food but we had to try one.

Sunday was cold and a bit rainy.  we all took a city tour including cemetaries and Katrina...



after our Tour we took the streetcar to the casino where again they took more of our money!  the weather had turned really cold so we just ate there.  the food was pretty good, a little pricy but everything we ate was good. 

it was a wonderful way to spend our holiday, great friends and great food!
