Last weekend Matthew and I traveled to New Orleans for the first time. One of his childhood friends got married there and we figured it was the perfect excuse to go somewhere new.
We stayed in the French Quarter, two blocks from Bourbon Street, and saw all varieties of people and events. After sadly coming to terms with the fact that we’re too old to party on the regular, we enjoyed a picnic from Swirl at Big Lake, a walk around Audubon Park, and many super-delicious char-grilled oysters from Drago’s.

Loyola University in the background. What you can’t see in this photograph is the 90-degree heat with 90% humidity.Turtle and bird, sunning themselves in the afternoon heat (Audubon Park).Beads everywhere.

A gorgeous place, but too large to see or hear anything that happened during the ceremony.Phenomenal view from the reception at the Southern Yacht Club.
