Spring Break- Andrew Anderson

For spring break this year I went to New Orleans, Louisiana.  We drove down there on Tuesday and as soon as we got there we had to rush to check in to the hotel.  We got there at like six thirty and we were going to see the Hornets Celtics basketball game.   It was a really good game, the only down side was that the Celtics lost.  The next day we went to our next hotel which was in the heart of the French Quarter on Bourbon Street.  We did a swamp tour on an air boat which was kind of cool; the best part was being able to catch a wild alligator.  After that we went on a tour of the New Orleans Rum Distillery.  This was probably my favorite part of the trip because it is what I want to do when I grow up.  We got to see how everything works and how it’s all made and then after we got to sample all of their products.  After that we went to Acme Oyster House for dinner the just did Bourbon Street stuff the rest of the night.  The next day we went to Café de Monde for beignets and coffee, did a lot of shopping, had dinner at Mr. B’s Bistro, then did a lot of the Bourbon Street stuff again.  The next two days went almost the exact same way except we ate at more of the famous New Orleans places.  Our drive back took forever! We stopped at every outlet store on the way back to Greenville because they wanted to shop.  A drive that should have taken nine hours ended up taking two days.  The days we weren't down there I was just hanging out with my family and friends from back home.  Overall I’d say it was a great spring break!
