Honeymoon--The NOLA Leg

Once we got off the big boat and waited in line through customs, we were ready to explore New Orleans. Thankfully, my friend Jess had provided us with a detailed itinerary, we were never without lots of ideas for things to do.

First things first, though...we've got to go shopping and take silly pictures. I didn't buy this mask...I almost did, but then realized that I would have to store it. I hate storing things.

Notice David's fantastic ensemble. "Game Over" t-shirt hidden by the Mizzou Mardi Gras beads. Don't worry--we found K-State ones too!
Oh, and Zoltar is pretty cool too.

Ahhh, pretty church.

This was taken during the brief break in storms. It looks far clearer than it was!

And me, standing in some plants.

I don't know why either.

All around the city, we kept seeing people wearing Red Dresses. Turns out there was some race called the "Red Dress Race." (I bet I could have figured that out on my own.)

Anyway, Bourbon street was a mad house of drunken men and women in all kinds of snazzy red dresses.

Just a little overwhelming!

My first Louisiana Po'Boy... I love me some crab!

Even though the legs were kind of scary...

On the next day, we headed to the aquarium...luckily it was inside to we got away from the rain.

Get excited for tons of pictures of us posing next to stuff!

I liked the birds!

We had to wait for like 10 minutes to take a picture in the giant shark teeth!

Luckily, the line for the sea horse was much shorter...poor little guy! I liked him just fine!

Weird. Cute, but weird.

Picture alone...

Picture alone... Together!

David really wanted me to buy this shirt.

It reads, "The Nagging Will Continue Until Morale Improves."

I don't know what he's talking about--I never nag!

I got to pet a shark!

David decided that he would rather not :)

Standing in a aquarium tube...

Looking Sea-Lion-Riffic!

After the aquarium and a nice dinner at Acme Oyster House (deeee-lish!), we headed down to Bourbon Street. I had run 13 miles that morning, so the night before I vetoed the drinking.

That night, though, I needed one!

Grenade Man...looking...sleepy?

Oh hand grenade, how I loved you.

David's relationship was slightly more conflictual.

Yeah, we're happy.

We decided to document our wedding rings. First, we thought they could be really good weapons.

Then remembered how happy we were to finally have them!
I liked random signs...

Oh my goodness!And then we hung out on a balcony until it was finally bedtime.
Ooooh, and I ate a Lucky Dog on the walk back.

Yuuuuuuuummmmm!

This is the only picture we have from our last day! We rode the trolley all the way and turned around and rode it back. It was fun, except for the horrific accident we witnesses (were, amazingly, no one was hurt) and the rain that started pouring the second we got off the trolley.

That's it! All the honeymoon pictures are posted! We had a great time, but were really ready to get back to life and settle into a routine.

Yeah, we're still waiting for that to happen!
