Day 2

We got up early Wednesday morning. Had a leisurely breakfast with our friends and then Marc and I went looking for clothes to wear to the wedding. Originally we were going to have a friend deliver the clothing I left behind to another family friend to bring who would be coming by plane the morning of the wedding. But after a bit of back and forth Marc and I decided to just purchase something else to wear. We had been under the impression it was an all white wedding (which made shopping challenging at best) but later found out there had been some miscommunication. 

We eventually found something to wear just before leaving for New Orleans that afternoon. 

We arrived late that evening and checked into the Marriott Downtown New Orleans Convention Center.

Nicki who had driven the last few hours of the trip was tired and went to her room for the rest of the night. Marc, Q and I decided to explore. Plus Marc was hungry since our last meal had been lunch around 2 o'clock and it was now 10 at night. 

We were directly across the street from River Walk Mall but it was to late to go in there. 

A lot of the restaurants near by were closed or looked like they were about to close.

The Casino was hopping though lol

Lots of hotels to choose from.

And we were pretty close to most of the sites!

We eventually made our way unto Canal Street and after some time we found an IHOP of all places!!

After we ate we made our way back to the hotel (explored a bit more), and then hit the sack so we would be bright eyed and bushy tailed for the wedding the next day!
