Fall Break!
Three different fall breaks, from New Orleans to Kansas and the Texas Hill Country.
We all went our separate ways for Fall Break this October.
Scott and I headed back to New Orleans with our friends, the Whitlows, for a fun long weekend filled with great food, drinks, and plenty of walking around the tourist spots. We spent time in Jackson Square, wandered down Bourbon Street, and mixed in a few new places.
A few of our favorite bars included Old Absinthe House, Pat O’Brien’s, Jewel of the South, Fives, Sylvain, and Krazy Korner. We also ate our way through the city with meals at Felix’s, Ruby Slipper, GW Fins, and Willa Jean.
One of the funniest surprises of the trip happened at breakfast at Ruby Slipper when we looked over and realized Jeffree Star was eating there too!
Meghan and Shane flew to Manhattan, Kansas, for Fall Break to visit family and friends and take in one of the state’s biggest rivalries: Kansas State vs. Kansas. Thanks to Shane’s field passes, they had a front-row view of all the pre-game excitement from the sidelines before heading to the Golden Cats Club to enjoy the game. They also got their first taste of true fall weather, complete with freezing mornings and beautiful sunny afternoons. It was the perfect football weekend in Manhattan!
Kate headed to Fredericksburg with Anne-Marie and Brooke to celebrate Anne-Marie’s 22nd birthday. The girls spent the weekend winery hopping, trying out local restaurants, and soaking up everything Fredericksburg has to offer. It was a fun little getaway filled with good food, great wine, and lots of laughs celebrating another trip around the sun for Anne-Marie!
