Visitors and Spring Break 2014...

Well here we are half-way through Spring Break 2014.   

Last weekend, our friends, Joe and Danna came in from Dallas.  They never made it out to the "burbs", so we joined them in the city on Friday and Saturday.  It was so fun to see them and catch up!  

Friday night we met them at Revolution.  DE-LI-CIOUS!  What a yummy weekend it was eating ourselves through the city!  It was everyone's first time to dine @ Revolution , so it was a fun experience...  

YUMMY food...

We love the Renfroe's!

Saturday, Brad and got into the city just in time for some shopping on Magazine Street.  I love that street...  So many fun clothing and shoe shops.  (We ran into Rob Ryan and his wife in one of the stores. He was outside on the phone and Brad gave me the evil eye, real quick. I think he knew I wanted a pic!  He is a HUGE deal here in Nola. - So we left, sans picture with Coach Ryan).  

We walked around for a while and then the guys thought they would be so sneaky when the cab discreetly pulled up in front of Harrah's.  I loathe that place...  Pretty much loathe any casino.  While the boys gambled their hearts away, Danna and I did some much needed people watching on Canal. 

 A smidge tacky, but I might try this the next time "Harrah's" pops into one of our conversations.

Sure honey, let's throw away $300 on a fun, lil poker game and get NOTHING in return said this girl never...

We had reservations Saturday night at Emeril's!  We had reservations at the "bar" that over looks Emeril's kitchen!  What a FUN treat that was!  Danna and I were in complete awe.  Talk about INTENSE.  No plexiglass, nothing.  We heard every word they said and every command made by the Expo - (aka kitchen manager).    Talk about multitasking.  It was the most organized chaos I have ever seen.  We seriously could have reached out and touched the "saute girl". 

Emeril's did not disappoint!


Sunday was back to the burbs for Easter service, naps, and our first "snowballs".  I am used to hearing the word "snowcones" in Texas, but they don't have those here, or Bahama Bucks, for that matter.  The snowball was good, but not a Bucks!

A local, snowball establishment.  Very retro...

Where has this week gone!  I have seen my husband a total of 3 hours since Sunday night.  Not fun!  DARN trash...

Definitely not the most fun and exciting Spring Break I have ever had, BUT I have LOVED the extra time since I have been bogged down with graduate work the past 4 days.  25 page paper due next weekend, and am trying like heck to GET IT FINISHED.  

SO with that being said - this Spring Break is EXACTLY what I needed to get all this graduate work finished and submitted.  Come on November!

 I am starting to feel like this girl.

Have a great rest of the week and weekend.    

Love,


~H
