I had a pretty stellar 11 days off work in July to accompany Deavin to New Orleans for a week-long school trip. He was going down there for two classes that lasted five days, and one of those days happened to be our 2nd wedding anniversary. So...what better excuse could there be to go too?
I absolutely fell in love with New Orleans last year, which was my first trip there. This time, one of Deavin's co-workers, a NOLA native, suggested some of his favorite places to eat.
One of my favorites, R&O's in Bucktown. Greaaaat roast beef sandwich. And it was massive!
Playing some silly little game in between classes.
The chapel on NOBTS campus. I have honestly seen more of the campus than Deavin has! Every morning I ran 3 or so miles, making laps around the gated campus. I enjoy the scenery and the gorgeous Louisiana trees.
Happy 2nd anniversary! This was right before our anniversary dinner.
We went to Drago's for dinner, which was highly suggested by many people. We weren't all that impressed, but I did try some really strange food (for me, at least): duck, charbroiled oysters, filet mignon, and blackened catfish. Apparently my usual menu doesn't have much variety.

The Morning Call Coffee Stand is a 24-hour restaurant in City Park that serves coffee and beignets! Just as good as Cafe Du Monde, but definitely quieter.

And here's Deavin on the field that we got kicked off of. Long story.
