Approximately eight hours after my last paper of the semester was submitted, my boyfriend and I took off for New Orleans and four days of relaxation. Highlights:
- Beignets at Cafe du Monde. Powdered sugar bliss.
- Jelly fish at the aquarium. I want to poke them!
- The worst 3D IMAX movie about dinosaurs.
- Touching a shark and stingray. They wouldn't let me poke them.
- Being depressed and tired at the zoo yet still impressing Garrett with my casual use of the word "ungulates."
- Steak that melted like butter in my mouth, making all the high-heeled walking pain disappear.
- Oysters and Strawberry Abita at Acme Oyster House.
- Being sorely disappointed about Bourbon street (it smelled like puke and there were stupid tourists and icky-looking strippers everywhere) yet excited that we could drink our beers while walking outside.
- Breakfast on the balcony and cribbage by the pool at our adorable hotel in the French Quarter. Ugh, how grown-up!
- Driving through the "rich" part of town and ogling the amazing old southern homes.
- And last but not least, having no homework, no place to be, no schedule and no worries.
