Our last night in New Orleans. Naji and I left the kids in the room to order room service and watch movies and we hit the town. We had a great time, a trip for our 20th anniversary that I'll never forget. Anyway, the last night was awesome. We started out with a bottle of Dom at Mr. B's Bistro. The details of the rest of the night I'll have to leave to your imagination so I don't risk being fired by posting it on the internet!! Of course it has to do with Bourbon Street!!

Louisiana Pizza Kitchen

One of the first days we were in New Orleans, we ate here. Naji remembered it from when he used to live in New Orleans and remembered it as being good. He was right, it was awesome. At Louisiana Pizza Kitchen they cook their pizzas in a wood burning stove, they were very good!

Napoleon's

Today in New Orleans in The Quarter we ate at a restaurant called Napoleon's. If you ever visit, you need to stop by this place. The service was not the best but the quality of the food made it well worth the trip. You can read reviews and history of the restaurant here. We loved it! Naji and I had the muffaletta and the avocado and shrimp remoulade salad...awesome. Josh had the meatball Po Boy and loved it. And Anni whose new year's resolution is to be a vegetarian, had an "organic sandwich" which, I know, sounds disgusting, but I will order it next time, it was awesome!! It had sprouts, lettuce, tomato, avocado, cream cheese, and balsamic dijon vinaigrette.

Happy New Year 2009 from New Orleans!

New Year 2009, wow, seems like yesterday it was 1999. We had a great time bringing in the New Year in New Orleans. Josh and Anni have both been, but the last time we came it was just for the day, so this time they really got to see the sites.














The picture below was in the River Walk, we had fun shopping, Naji bought me a "High Maintenance" t-shirt, anyone who knows me, knows he must have been joking!!









Of course we ate lots of good food, here we were at Pierre Maspero's, we also ate at Mother's, yum, and Mr. B's Bistro! Mr. B's wasnt' new to me, it's been a favorite of mine for years!!













We were at Jaxson Square for New Years Eve to watch the "Fleur de lis" drop at Midnight.












We walked Bourbon Street. It really freaked Josh out, and Anni wants to move here!!















Sugar Bowl 2009, we were having fun as we walked in, but left sad!
Hope everyone has a wonderful 2009!!
