Farewell Beignets

We asked ourselves...if we only had 10 day in New Orleans, what would be on the "must" list? Then, we went and did those things! We have turned the page on this chapter in our lives and are back in Tennessee with family and friends. We are buying a home and plan to enjoy the great outdoors more now that we'll have easy access to the mountains and rivers of Tennessee and Georgia. I am working on a short memoir of our time spent in New Orleans...I'm sure it will be months before it is finished. Until then, we leave you all with photos of our last trip to Cafe Du Monde and of the 10 things on our "must" list :)

1. Eat one last Po'boy (We went to New Orleans Hamburger and Seafood Co. on St. Charles)
2. Eat beignets (If it's not Cafe Du Monde, it doesn't really count)
3. Eat crawfish (Crawfish Pie, thanks to Mike!)
4. Eat some sausage (We went to our favorite, Dat Dog, for the Duck Special)
5. Eat a "New Orleans" dinner (We enjoyed steaks and amazing appetizers with friends at Doris Metropolitan in the French Quarter)
6. See some live music (We went to our favorite jazz pub, Fritzels on Bourbon) 
7. Drink a daiquiri (I had a Jazz Daiquiri on Bourbon)
8. Take a walk through the French Quarter at night 
9. Cool off at the Creole Creamery (their ice cream is the best!)
10. Stroll through City Park and around Bayou St. John

Some major contenders included one last streetcar ride, burlesque, snoballs and Swamp Pops...there just wasn't enough time for it all. We know we will visit!
