Nothing says therapy like a long weekend getaway with your oldest and closest friends right?? That's what I'm talking about. This years girls trip was long anticipated for many reasons. Primarily because of the location. We've been wanting to do a trip to New Orleans for many years but due to various reasons we've had to postpone the location. This year was THE year! Everything fell into place..No one had family conflicts, no one was birthing a baby, nothing..We were all able to be there except one. Liza had to cancel last minute so we were one shy of our full entourage. She was missed royally though. Needless to say we had such a blast! From the time we crossed the Ponchetrain comin'in until the time we could smell Bourbon Street no mo' we had a large time. It was so awesome to be able to have stayed at the Ritz Carlton right on Canal Street and not just stay there....no indeed... we were residents of the Club Level or better yet... "THE BUTTA CLUB"! It earned it's name rightfully so from Lulu's family many years ago b/c the butta club is as fine as Butta! (Butter for all you non Suthun' readers) Lulu's husband, Scott, was able to pull some strings with his law firm's connections and set us right on up! Personally, I could have never left the butta club and been juuuuuust fine right there. There were always delectable treats available for all hour munching and refreshing spirits to quinch your dying thirst. However, we had much too much to accomplish while in the Big Easy...so that we did!

We rode the trolley all the way down St. Charles and walked back up Magazine and did some shopping. Had such a good time seeing all the gorgeous houses in the Garden District and the neat shops! Need about 2 days alone to just get all the way down Magazine (note to self)

The last night we ate dinner at Dickie Brennan's Steak House. It was wonderful and very "mafia like". The steaks were yummy! Want to definately go back there!

Other things we did while we were there: ate some fine food, danced until wee hours, got onstage at the 80's band bar, rode the bull at the Bourbon Cowboy, walked the River Walk, shopped at Saks, lived the life at the Ritz...now that's what I'm talking about sho'nuf! Girl's Trip 2009!
Laisez Les Bon Temps Roulez!! We did indeed!
