Epic Road Trip Brew Tour Honeymoon 2012 - The Big Easy

 After the crazy, packed day spend doing everything the French Quarter has to offer, we spent our last day in New Orleans taking it easy. We had a great brunch, then took a walk.

Our walk took us to Sucre. I had wanted to stop in because I heard they have incredible macarons. I bought a box for the road, and we got some delicious milkshakes.

Our day ended with our friends treating us to dinner at Jasques-imo's. Best way to end our visit.

 After stuffing ourselves with raw oysters, our friends took us to the oldest bar in the French Quarter.

And Quentin Tarantino was hanging out there, NBD. That's his head in the window. I didn't want to take a pic of him when he was inside and be totally invasive. But there is the back of his head.

 After the Gay Easter Parade, our friends Heather & Tom took us to an amazing Raw Oyster Bar and we thoroughly enjoyed it.

 After grabbing our drinks at Bar Tonique, we headed over to watch the Gay Easter Parade. It was incredible.

 We started off our second day in New Orleans by getting some brunch.

 This omelet was incredible, it had shrimp in it, and I can't remember what else. I also made it a point to get grits and a biscuit whenever possible while we were in the south. You just can't find the same quality up north when it comes to grits and biscuits.

 We hopped on the trolley car and stopped in to Harrah's Casino. I spent all my gambling money on this machine.

 This is me standing at the door of what is supposedly the most haunted house in the French Quarter.

 Here is the street view of the house. If you'd like to read the story of why this house is so haunted, you can check it out here and read the story about the LaLaurie House.

 Love that French Quarter architecture!

 After walking around we were a little parched and stopped in to Bar Tonique for some refreshment.

 The interior of the bar was small, but the decor was awesome.

 Couldn't put my vodka tonic down long enough to tak a picture.

After Bar Tonique, it was time to hit up the main even of the day:

Epic Road Trip Brew Tour Honeymoon 2012 - Authentic Louisiana Crawfish Boil

 After returning to New Orleans from Abita Springs, and stopping at a drive thru daiquiri place along the way,  we took a little walk along the bayou. We had some time to kill before going to our first authentic Louisiana crawfish boil.

 This is Heather's dad showing me the correct way to eat a crawfish.

 Heather found a dude with disproportionate claws.

My birthday was the previous night, and Heather's dad and aunt both had birthdays within the next couple of days, so they had a cake for us! It was a Doberge Cake, and it was DELICIOUS!
