Keep Calm & Have a Cocktail March 2018:Day 2. Mum Behaving Badly. New Orleans Superdome & Bourbon St

[i love jack]

I do love your reports, so funny obviously not laughing at you with the spinney room.
Well done Andy for getting the Starbucks mug I’m hoping for one of those but gutted to hear the designs may have changed
Mainly a lovely mother’s day

Lol, I can take it or leave it - I do like cocktails on hols though. I really should have just said no to the tequila.

As soon as you said James Bond I could visualize the scene and the music! NO is certainly an interesting city architecturally!

Shame about dinner!

Its a really visually different place and there were several of those parades that Sunday - it gave it such a great vibe.

A great mothers day, I think you did amazingly well to last that long. The parade looks good and I imagine it was thrilling to be part of it.

Those oysters looked off in the photo, I'm surprised the restaurant served them!

That lady was so funny, she was so obvious about what she was doing! Love the Miami mug , was so pleased he found one
A fab mothers day, I really did enjoy (most of) it. Maybe not the very end
How to top it next year tho

Fab photos. I really want to go now! The arena seems massive. The stun guns and sit on lawn mowers are a strange combo of stalls though. I did laugh at the idea of you trying to get some dogs into your packing cases.

Look forward to day 3 x

Yep, Mothers Day in style - and the boys did message me as well so it was lovely. Ah that show was such an eclectic mix of stuff , Andy was fascinated with it all !

Ah bless you, its good we can look back and laugh on those things that drive us nuts at the time and the spinning room was gruesome - I thought it was never going to stop

I don't like the new designs at all - as my cupboard is full, that's maybe not a bad thing

OMG Amanda, I have tears laughing!
It's that I am now on holiday spirit that seems so good at the time doesn't it!
I am off to read the next hangover episode.

[christybell]

Love reading your reports Amanda, always make me LOL... Really made me chortle (and think I could have written this) when I got to the "almost sociable" comment... cocktails and NO seem to be the required mix to unleash the introvert. Need to add it to my list!
Thanks for sharing

Definitely the oysters and not the tequila lol great way to spend Mothers Day

[DisneyDreamer81]

Aaaahhhh, it's so good to see you back in NOLA! And I am so impressed by your cocktail consumption today. I think the oysters would have tipped me over the edge too

[margyloveswdw]

It was definitely the oysters and not the cocktails or tequila!

Sounds like you had a great Mothers Day!

[floridafan101]
