We had a blast this weekend. I just graduated from police academy, and it is our anniversary weekend, so me and the wife slipped down to the Big Easy. We got to our hotel on St. Charles avenue in New Orleans Friday afternoon, and bummed around a bit. Ate barbecue, drank beer, then retired to the hotel, where we drank whiskey and acted silly in the hotel courtyard. Saturday morning, we walked through Lafayette Cemetery #1, and strolled the garden district, gaping like bumpkins at the multi-million dollar mansions. Afterward, we headed to the french quarter, and ate a delicious muffelletta at Central Grocery. With full bellies, we stopped for a daiquiri and sat for an hour people watching in Jackson Square. We stopped by Felix's Oyster house for my wife, so she could get a dozen on the half shell, and while there, we saw I'll Have Another win the Preakness Stakes. Great race, by the way. We wandered down St Charles that evening, and drank way too much craft beer. This morning, we ate homeade bagels at a local bakery, then headed to Baton Rouge to see the Rural Folklife Museum.
A selection of pictures follows. It was a great weekend!

I doubt that you two ate a whole muffelata. Barret and I could barely eat one.
Ha! We did indeed, pop. We about foundered ourselves, and had to sit in Jackson Square for an hour to recover, but we did it!
Congrats on graduating, job well done. Give some folks a call sometime, or send me a message on here.
