blog catch up post #2

this past weekend was dabney's birthday and to commemorate the event we decided to take a very quick trip down I-55 to new orleans. dabney had never been before so we thought it would be the perfect way to celebrate turning 29 again.

Jackson Square

the boys flew into town to join us for the revelry.
Bourbon Street

no trip to new orleans would be complete without partying on bourbon street, shopping on magazine street, and eating all over the place.  man, what an amazing dining town!

we even managed to catch up with a st. louis friend (temporarily living in NOLA) over one of the splendid meals featured above.

our brunch was even accompanied by a jazz band AND enormous bloody marys.

from the grandeur of the garden district to hurricane katrina's devastation (and rebirth) in the 9th district, we managed to cover a lot of ground.

Ayo, so jealous. Remember, long, long ago, when we drove to New Orleans? How we almost died? Happy belated birthday to Dabney!
