We decided to go to Houston to see the BYU/LSU opening game of college football. Then Harvey hit and Houston was flooded. Last minute, the game was moved to New Orleans, which worked well for us since we were already planning on staying the first night there anyway.
DAY ONE:
We drove down on Friday and were talking about maybe taking a swamp tour. Then we found one on the way and decided to do that before even going to our hotel. It was hot and muggy, even though temp in New Orleans was really nice.
We saw SO many alligators!
DAY TWO:
We made reservations for brunch at the famous Brennan's. Everything was SO yummy!! This was some baked apple thing that was delicious!
I didn't get a picture of my eggs benedict but it was delicious and then for dessert, we had the famous Bananas Foster. They make it table side and it was created by this restaurant for a well loved patron with the last name Foster. Who knew? It was DELICIOUS!!!!
Then we did some shopping and got some beignets at Café Du Monde. We were able to walk almost everywhere we went that weekend and it was really nice. Once it was time for the game, we grabbed some dinner on the way and headed over to the superdome.
We sat in the BYU section. Rob & Emily rooted for BYU and Rusty and I rooted for LSU. The game was great, mostly because LSU won.
Being the former band nerd, I appreciated the LSU band forming the state of Louisiana and spelling out LSU.
DAY THREE:
We drove home and got the girls. They had a blast at Ben and Stephanie's. Thanks guys for keeping our girls and loving on them!
