Football Season 2010 - Week 5

Week 5 of football season, we decided to forgo our usual activities & head down to New Orleans with our best friends from here in Chattanooga. Since Margaret is from New Orleans and they all went to UT they decided way back to head down for the game. Even though Robbie & I are not UT fans, how can you pass up a weekend get away with awesome friends in a great city?!?! So we all dropped the kids off with relatives & flew down to New Orleans on Friday. Margaret was a great host and planned dinner at amazing restaurants.

Friday night, we took a trolley to dinner so we could see different parts of New Orleans. We passed sooooooooo many beautiful houses.Margaret, Andy, Zach & Kimberly

Friday night we had dinner at Jacques-Imo's. Oh my goodness. Such amazing food. You could definitely tell we don't get out much without the kids! We had such a good time at dinner. I do feel like I should apologize to everyone that was there trying to have a quiet dinner though. The restaurant is very small & the tables are close together. We were definitely having a good time! Group shot! Andy, Zach, Margaret, Kimberly, Lally & Sam (friends of our UT friends from Chicago) and Robbie & me

On Saturday, the boys & Lally headed over to Baton Rouge for the game. Margaret, Kimberly & I stayed in New Orleans to shop & just relax. We had such a good time just wandering around the city. (It was great being with someone actually from NO who could show us different things.) It was also very nice to go at our own pace. No rushing back for naps and having to leave a store early because of a crying baby. We just walked, talked, ate & had a great time. Saturday night, since the boys were still on their way back, just us girls had dinner at the restaurant EAT. I highly recommend it too! It was another very small & intimate place. It was a fabulous dinner with fabulous friends! Unfortunately, our camera sat in the bottom of my purse all night. I kept meaning to take pictures, but then I would get distracted & forget. So no pictures from Saturday:(

On Sunday, we all flew back to Chattanooga. We all had so much fun and appreciate Margaret for being such a wonderful host for her hometown! Of course we were super excited to see the munchkin. He spent the weekend with Uncle Johnathan & Aunt Andrea. Thank you guys so much for watching him!
