Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Thank you. He did good. I think I will keep him around for a bit! 😁
  2. We left out of there and headed over to Pat O’Briens for a few Hurricanes. We met another family there that will be on the cruise with us. Had a great time and Missy, the bar tended was awesome. We ended up coming back to the hotel to relax. Not sure about dinner tonight! Just some pictures from today.
  3. What a day! We started out with hubby getting us a big ole cup of coffee. I am not a huge breakfast eater- so we skipped this morning. We had reservations at Antoine’s Restaurant, which has been there (not in this location) since 1840. They supposedly invented Oysters Rockefeller. Well, that grabbed my attention and I had to try them. let me just say- it did not disappoint. The service was impeccable. We had a server and an assistant. They said no t-shirts, cargo pants of flip flops. Well- hubby wore cargo pants. They were a little lax because of the cool weather. we started out with the oysters- which were good, but not great. We also ordered bloody Mary’s! After that, we ordered the bottomless mimosas! Not once did our glasses get half empty! Hubby got the shrimp and grits and OMGOSH- they were so good. I wish I would have gotten them, but I wanted something different. So I got the veal with grits. It was very good, but I liked the shrimp better. This was a jaz brunch and that did not disappoint! The jazz band came to our table and sang a Nat King Cole song for us- Love! Then our waiter brought us a gift for our anniversary. We have been together 19 years! So hard to believe- sometimes it seems like yesterday. My hubby also gave me some new bling to replace my current wedding band. Very surprised and a huge upgrade! Lol. I am in love with it and him. we spent what I had expected- $130 plus a tip! Would I go again? YES- for a special occasion. IMG_1112.MOV
  4. Very cool. Most of her art was just too gory. This was one of a few that wasn’t. She grew up in an abusive house when young and it comes through her art as a way of dealing. i am very surprised I didn’t break a tooth also. I’m becoming a pro at finding them though. Last time we had oysters- I found 4. Lol Cafe du Monde is a must!!
  5. We also stopped in Jackson Square and talked to this young girl and her dad. She is there every weekend selling her art. We decided to purchase one that spoke to us.
  6. After we checked in, we walked over to the Riverwalk and saw that Radiance of the Seas was getting ready to depart. We went to Fat Tuesday and ordered two Panty Droppers! So good. We then went to Cafe Du Mondrian and I bet you all can’t guess what we got!! Stopped by the Mardi Gras store and picked up beads for our trip next year on the Mardi Gras. We walked to the French Quarter and had a shrimp poboy and oyster poboy. We split them so we could both have a bit of each. As I was chowing down on the oyster poboy, I bit down on something hard. I found a pearl!! we were going to do a ghost tour- but it was just too cold for us, so we made our way back to our room. First day in New Orleans was nice.
  7. Completely surprise at the upgrade and very grateful. Homemade mini bar is a must. Tomorrow will be great!
  8. We rolled into New Orleans about 1230pm. Traffic is a nightmare. I am sure there is a concert tonight. We arrived at our hotel while navigating one way streets. Lol. Hubs was NOT happy with traffic and wanted a drink when we got into our room. Thankfully we stopped and picked something up. while hubby dealt with valet, I went in and checked us in. As I was talking to the front desk awesome ladies, they upgraded us because it is our 19th anniversary.
  9. After packing up the car last night, we could not close our eyes. After a few hours of tv, sleep hit both of us. When the alarm went off at 4am- I did. It want to get up. But I was spring loaded and jumped up anyway. We were finally out of the house at 450am. At 830am, we stopped for gas. Imagine my surprise as hubs came out with shakes for both. Ummmm- dude, who gets shakes at 830am AND in cold weather?
  10. Thank you for the tips. We have a ghost tour tonight and a jazz brunch tomorrow. Did not want to stay near Bourbon! Glad to know the location is good. Told hubby that I just want a po-boy! Can’t get a good one where we are- just not like the po-boys in Biloxi and New Orleans!
