sex, check, drugs, check, rock n roll...

so i'm back from my weekend trip to New Orleans and gotta say, i had a blast. Stacy and i drove down friday afternoon for what would have been a jet setting record of about 6 hours, but got hung up in early rush hour traffic in Baton Rouge, but got there in time to check in and hit Bourbon street and start our worldwind tour of the french quarter complete with heavy buzz. it's been a few years since i'd been to NO and i've been for both Mardi Gras and Jazz Fest and this weekend was almost as busy as both. everyone else musta had the same idea that we did, cause it was good and crowded. we wandered the quarter with hurricanes in tow. if you've never been to NO, save up, spend the money and plan to forget your name for a few days. the drinks are strong, the women are beautiful and the food is amazing. nothing beats some authentic red beans and rice or crawfish etoufee. the drinks are so strong, a swift kick to the balls goes unnoticed. and you can carry your drink anywhere you go. grab a drink in a togo cup and wander all over town.

we stayed at the Sheraton on Canal St. on the 47th floor, so we had a great view of the entire town and french quarter. saturday afternoon, we found a tattoo parlor and we both added to our collection. i'm figuring in about 20 years, i'll be fully sleeved. hopefully less. saturday evening was spent with more alcohol, more great food and we ended the trip with a $165 breakfast at Brennans. The trip home took a little longer as we took a wrong turn, but got to see some beautiful Texas back country and national forest. All in all, we had a great time and spent lots of money, but it was just the 4 days we needed away from work and Dallas and would definitely do it again.
