NEW ORLEANS!!!!!

Hey Everyone!!! For Spring Break, me and my friends Kelly and Liz went to New Orleans! It was aaaamazing!! So here is our story ;)
It was a 14 hour drive, but it was okay, cause we had Thad's GPS.... (we called her Karen), to direct us. She actually made us back track a couple times, but overall was very helpful. Especially in the New Orleans traffic, which was hella annoying. Who designed that traffic system? ugh!!!
First off, our hotel was SKETCH-ville! There were hoodlems hangin out, loitering at our elevators and in our lobby... pretty scary. And they were always making comments like "heeey gurrrl! you lookin fine!" no... not cool. But what can we expect for 30 bucks a night?
We visted the French Market, all the shops, Jackson Square, the River Walk, the mall (which was wayyy to expensive fo us po folk), and of course, Bourbon street!
We ate amazing food as well... I had catfish, alligator, and crawfish etoullfet... all very delicious! We ate at a restaurant called Mothers... a famous restaruant down there.. pretty local. It was on Man vs. Food off the travel channel... so i had to go!
On St. Patty's Day, we went to a local deli and met an Irishman named David... when we left... of course we began talking about how cute he was and how sexy his irish accent was....
SOOO... about 4 blocks away, he had ran and caught up to us, probably heard what we were talking about, and asked us to have a drink with him that night...!!!!! Soooo, we did. Of course.
Our last night, we found out about the local jazz bars on the very out skirts of the french market... and we went there for some amazing jazz!!! Perfect ending...
We all had a great time! Thanks to Daddo!!! Love you! Hope you all are doing well! Prayers for Grandma!
