#2. Last Minute Road Trip!

Our good friends had been planning for months to vacation in New Orleans... We knew they had an open invitation for friends to join their trip but with The House Drama of 2014 we could not commit to going.  At the very last second, Coach declared Fudge It and booked a hotel room with only 49 hours notice.  And we took off on our first ever Road Trip as a couple. We decided to only tell Really Nice Guy and surprise The Teacher.  And after only 45 stressful minutes chasing her oblivious stubborn a$$ around the French Quarter, we finally cornered her and the weekend commenced!

You know how you're Down South and you notice signs and tees and whatnot for Mint Julep's??  So then you decide Know what... let's try a real life Southern Mint Julep for fun?! Heads Up: Mint Juleps are AWFUL.  And the little ol ladies that drink Mint Juleps are obviously hard core.

On the swamp tour I was THIS close to the gators.

The swamp was awesome.
The tour, a little rehearsed.

 He's cute. And the other boys on this street agreed.




Final Assessment of my third trip to New Orleans: I would go again. And again.
Who wants us to bum off their next trip??
Two days after returning to the real world, Coach Commented to me: I already miss your smile...

I feel like an important part of the story was left out. How does someone with three children plan a last minute trip? Big help could have been Grammy saying go, I will come to your house and watch your children.
