In between parades, we walked through the French Market to try a few more pralines and get Liz a birthday drink! We walked over to Frenchman Street, too, and the boys got some Hurricanes back on Bourbon.
Here's where pictures from the Big Gay Easter parade start! Matt must have been a favorite barbecue he got a whole buncha beads!
We visited NOLA, Emeril's restaurant for Liz's birthday dinner that night and it was incredible. The food was amazing and the service was unbelievable. This place is definitely at the tippy top of my New Orleans recommendations list.
On our last full day we rented bikes and rode down to the Garden District and Tulane University. It was a long ride but a really gorgeous day and we needed the exercise ;)
We also got to visit the Lafayette Cemetery Number 1. Since New Orleans is below sea level, the majority of grave yards a full of individual and family tombs. It's so different from cemeteries I've seen before and, even though it's obviously morbid, it was a very interesting and cool place to see.
We spent the rest of our trip visiting Tulane, enjoying a few more beignets, a po'boy at Johnny's Po Boys, and our last dinner at Kingfish (you might see a review of that eventually!).
We definitely had a fun trip, but I'm loving having some of that New Orleans weather up here now.
