New Orleans

I had to go to New Orleans for the weekend for work and put on a training session, Todd our friend and one that I work with also was helping to hold the training. It was on Saturday so we decided that we would make a mini vacation of it since our good friend Marcus lives there and none of us had ever been to New Orleans. We left Houston late Friday morning and made the 6 hour drive to New Orleans. Once we arrived we checked into our hotel and waited for Marcus to arrive to go to dinner.
We went to a local resturant called Drago's. It was a seafood resturant and everyone thought that it was really good. I had steak fingers, so not really sure how great the seafood was! Ha! The desserts were huge. We ordered the brownie and icecream and it took up an entire plate!

Here were all were on Friday night. After dinner we went to a little bar called New Orleans Daiquiris. It was a fun place that we all just hung out for the evening. The next morning Todd and I got up early and were off for a day of training. Toby slept in and then spent the rest of the afternoon with Marcus. It was great that they got to spend some time together.

That evening Marcus, Toby and I went back to New Orleans Daiquiris bar, and are an appetizer and then headed to meet Todd and Dana for dinner and a night on Bourbon street. For some reason I thought that it would be like Vegas.. . I was a little wrong! It was nuts! Nothing that I pictured!

It was a really skinny street and there were people all over!! There was bar after bar after bar! We spent most of the evening just walking around and people watching. Toby even got to make some friends.

We were walking down the street and there was a bachelorette party and she had to find someone to propose to her. So who better than Toby?? It was pretty funny! He felt pretty special! Look at the smile on his face! Sunday morning it was up and to breakfast at Brennans and then home! It was a fun work weekend!!

** By the way, the hair on Friday was a wig, I am pondering cutting and coloring, but wanted to see if I liked it before I did it one day!! So it was a great way to test it!
