Stories

All trips have their stories to share....

After taking a short stroll around New Orleans Sat we headed back to the hotel because we had 6:30 dinner reservation and needed to leave by 6:00. We had an idea of where it was but not exactly. So at 5:55 Justin grabs his coat thinking a shirt was under it only to find pants. So he has a suit and tie but no shirt!!! The blue polo he does have doesn't exactly go with his navy blue suit. We use to have an idea where things were pre Katrina but at this late time we didn't want to go "hunting" only to find the stores no longer there so we call the front desk and she suggests canal place a few blocks away. So we go and the only stores we see from the street are pottery barn, banana republic, and brooks brother. So I jump out of the car while Justin drives around in endless circles. I'm walking up and down the street looking for a door to banana republic but never found a door so knowing we are about to miss our reservations I head to brooks brothers. Now Justin only wears a dress shirt a hand full of times throughout the year which are typically your department store brands and he doesn't have a clue how much those cost becasue he doesn't shop. So i get in the car and he's like how much did you have to pay - $40? No honey, try double that but it's our anniversary so don't worry about it!! Then we head in the direction of the resturant and while we were never "lost" it took us a little while to find it. Better late than never!

Once at dinner we've ordered, had our soups, and out come our entrees. I'm like - "where's the appetizer?" (it was oysters so I wasn't skipping out on those!) The waiter was terribly embarrassed that he screwed up - that's not suppose to happen at fancy places -right?? They got it right out to us so not a big deal but to make up for it he brought us not one but four deserts!!! We were already full before that but we managed to try them all. Two really good, two not so good...So his mistake was defiantly our gain!!
