New Orleans 8

From the sublime to the ridiculous ~ both of which were great fun!

Tea at the Ritz: a Meredith and Mom tradition from Boston days. One time the Ritz was closed for renovation so we went to the Four Seasons. Ah well - delightful but not the Ritz. This was the Ritz again even though in NOLA, not in Boston. This was the savory course. Meredith had English Breakfast tea, I had Earl Grey.

Sweet course with hot scones in the middle. 

Condiments for the scones: Devonshire Cream, mixed Berry Compote, and Lemon Curd. This lemon curd was Superb!!! 

And finally ~ yes, the Tahoe Mom went to Bourbon Street on a Saturday night!! :D

So you really believe me! And yes - the sign above my head does indeed say "Show Girls"!

People on the balcony toss beads.

And Meredith is expert at catching them and draping them around mom's neck. It was a fun, fun trip ~ lots of food, lots of walking, lots of visiting and loving being with family. Thanks for taking the trip with me via pictures!!
