We stumbled off the airplane not long before midnight, but technically it was Saturday, so I’m, including it with our first day.
My daughter’s fiancé is a great young man, so I was eager to meet his parents. They were very nice and we had a great time. After checking in to our hotel we headed down to Cafe Du Monde to get acquainted over beignets.
My daughter’s future in-laws.
Posing with my two older daughters. Yes, there are beignets under all that powdered sugar!
My daughter was very excited to be with her fiancé again after not seeing him for over a month.
My second daughter also came a long on the trip. Here we are stopping for a photo break.
My new friend buying us a blackened catfish po-boy sandwich to split. The food was HEAVEN! Our new family friends threw a couple great bridal showers for my daughter while we were there. Between their excellent Italian cooking and the New Orleans flavors all around it was a foodie dream come true. ( I know, calories! But I figured I compensated by walking in the heat for hours. I earned every bite).
And then………. according to my children I proceeded to take enough pictures of New Orleans to furnish Google maps with their street view feature. But I couldn’t resist all the lovely architecture and overflowing balconies.
On a side note, I did have to come home and buy some flower boxes for my porch. It seemed a little bare after seeing these beauties!
