We even got to stop in Birmingham and catch up with one of my college friends Allie!
After stopping for dinner and staying the night in Tuscaloosa, AL we woke up Saturday morning and made the rest of the journey to New Orleans!
We ended up renting a house with Rebecca, William, George and Lillian. When we arrived they had the cutest arrival table set up along with lots of New Orleans treats!
Ryan and I decided to take a cab to the French Quarter and check it out. It was probably the coolest cab ride ever....kinda like the show cash cab. He gave us a score card and asked us Super Bowl trivia! Ryan was pretty good and we even got a prize at the end of the ride...great way to start our time in NOLA!
After shopping and checking out the city we had lunch at the Gumbo Shop.
We then headed to Pat O'Brian's for Hurricanes!
Once it got dark we got a good taste of the real New Orleans! Mardi Gras is in a week so things are already picking up around there.
Dinner at Bourbon House....
The next day....Super Bowl Sunday we went to a brunch with the 49ers team and family. Good food and gospel music...great way to start Super Bowl Sunday!
We were then given our passes and tickets!!
We headed to the game early to watch Andy practice and soak in all the festivities.
Ryan got an alligator boudin sausage dog....looked amazing!
Half time was amazing! That is when you realize you are at the Super Bowl!
The lights going out in the dome was pretty scary. It was interesting to watch all the security quickly escorting celebrities/politicians out! After a brief interruption the lights came back on and the 49ers made the second half a lot more interesting.
Although they didn't win, it was an amazing experience. Hopefully next year they can go all they way!!!! Also no more road trips for this pregnant lady:) Spending the next two months nesting and getting ready for these sweet babies to arrive!
