Friday evening and Saturday we found even more things to do! First of all, we went to Maison, a really great venue with live music and no 21+ requirements. We saw an amazing jazz band and Miles had his first (that he will admit to anyway!) experience with a bouncer. At the…

On the way back to the city in the rental car, we visited a really excellent smokehouse, sorry I can’t remember the name at all. But we had their specialty, strawberry beignets, for dessert. Totally different shape from the square Cafe du Monde beignets, these were more the size and…
