Before we get to New Orleans pics, I took some before the trip. Here is my clinic!
This building is where I put in my long and grueling hours saving lives...and doing pap smears. After my particularly long and tiring morning Wednesday, I was enjoying that it was just a half day. While I was driving home, I decided to relax and enjoy my brain free time. That's when I saw the dairy queen!
This oasis in the sands of Pensacola meant sweet delicious treats for my belly so I had to stop and get an Oreo blizzard.
It was effing delicious! Even more enjoyable was the fact that this particular Dairy Queen is shockingly scenic. I decided to take my treat outside and enjoy the delightful view of the bay.
After my treat, I worked out, and life got better. Soon, I found myself ready for New Orleans. After I drove me and 4 of my classmates the 2 1/2 hours there, it was 6 o'clock, dark, and we were ready to party. After about ten of us got there, we started the preparty in the hotel. Everyone was excited.
Especially Monica.
We even had Marielle and Adnan to be our token leatherdaddies in our crew.
Shawen decided to make an appearance as we were getting ready to head out.
And off we were, TO BOURBON STREET!!!!
Casey and I shared our first drink of the night together, the infamous and amazing hand grenades. We did not know what we were in for.
I also made sure to get a picture of Casey with her boytoy, the best P-cola roomie that I could ever hope to have, Alex. He puts up with my snoring pretty well.
Alex and our NOLA expert Christian had to indulge in their Hopkins bromance by getting a pic too.
Then I ran into Shawen, drinking her hand grenade and looking as attractive as ever.
Shawen was chilling with her car buddy and our resident med school Sasquatch, Mike.
We then went to a karaoke bar where my rookies Elissa and Mary Kate had such a blast that MK was making the "hey girl hey!!" face on the dance floor.
All of our other med school peeps joined us and Jessica even busted it out on the stage. It was wild.
We then started scoping out new places to rage.
Niceville all-stars, Omar and Kara (his wife), were our tour guides.
Everyone was having an awesome time.
Especially Monica.
Eventually, we went on home to recover for the night.
In the morning Elissa, MK, and I started out on our quest.
Our quest for beignets!
The best beignets in New Orleans at CAFE DU MONDE!!!
We were joined there by the ever so popular Christian.
We couldn't wait for our delicious sugary treats.
I demolished mine.
MK reveled in her battle scars from victory over confections.
We then went back to the hotel to rest.
Then we invited guests over to figure out what we were gonna do that day. Also, Elissa tried to break my phone.
Eventually, we all went to Mango Mango for frozen drinks.
Keisen and Casey were happy with their selections.
We then wandered around some more before going out to dinner.
It was a shockingly long wait to get into the Acme oyster house.
People were pissed by the time we actually got to the front.
We then went back to the hotel to reconvene.
We then left to hit the town.
We went and saw some live blues. It was amazing.
After getting jazzed up, we decided to go get some drinks. Shawen was excited.
When we got to the club to dance, everyone was pumped and singing Gaga.
After we left the club, Keisen and I chilled in a lobby near the (sadly, closed for the night) pool.
After a long hard night though, we got ready and going with some more morning beignets. Christian, MK, and Elissa were there and we met up with Tahnie, Jessica, and Hamideh.
MK and I decided to go Asian for our picture.
We all look so happy cuz we're getting beignets.
MK once again wore the blood of the enemy, this time, on her face.
We then grouped it up in the lobby before leaving.
Monica was comfy.
Elissa had to yell at Keisen for waking her up.
Some people just can't handle NOLA.
As you can see, it was an awesome trip, and these are the tame moments!
