Friday for lunch we went to Bon Ton on Magazine St. It was fantastic!
Friday night we went to Cafe Marigny on Frenchman for appetizers and drinks (I had a Shirley Temple).
Then to Adolfo's for dinner. Adolfo's is an italian restaurant on Frenchman and is outstanding!! It is on the 2nd floor of this building.
Saturday morning we hit up Cafe du Monde for Beignets (delish!). We got a table immediately which is just crazy because it was packed!
On our way back, we strolled around the french quarter. Super windy and pretty chilly day in Jackson Square.
Saturday for lunch we went to Napolean House which has always been a favorite of mine. This is an old photo but not much has changed!! (photo courtesy of their website)
We celebrated Kevin's birthday while we were there and he got this super cute Linen Bucket Hat from Brooks Brothers. You can see him "modeling" it on the picture above from Jackson Square.
Saturday for dinner we had reservations at Galatoire's. My parents go there frequently but I had never been. They had a salad that I dream about and the creamed spinach was also very very good. Kevin got some fish that was super boney which made him really work for his meal. That added with our brand-spanking-new-waiter who brought our ticket and change (like loose money) out without a cover was pretty annoying but we were definitely able to laugh about it. What really tickled us is that we have dozens of restaurants in Birmingham that are better, Highlands, Ocean, Hot-n-Hot, Bottega, etc so we will be hitting up those very soon :)
Sunday was eventful. We went to Trinity Episcopal Church in the Garden District. It was Palm Sunday which is a big holiday for us. The beginning was a great service, outdoor, with a bunch of prayer and singing followed by a processional into the church. We aren't sure how the rest of the service went b/c that's when I passed out!! I didn't feel very well afterward so we headed to the ER to make sure the baby was ok (everything was fine!). Turns out I have pregnancy-induced Syncope, which is basically just "passing out." Thanks goodness it hasn't happened since, it was pretty frightening.
As Kevin said... "It just isn't a pregnancy without a trip to the ER!"
Our flight was later that afternoon and I still wasn't feeling all that great so we took it easy the rest of the afternoon. I couldn't wait to get home to see my babies!!
