We slept in to recover from the previous three days of fun. Even though we didn't have anything planned, today was still a big day. It was Week 16 in the NFL season and that meant it was Fantasy Football championship week. This was the first time that the majority of our fantasy football league was together for the championship match. The two who duked it out? Seth and I. The hype was in the air. All the other players who got knocked out were rooting one way or the other. Talking trash and taking names.
By lunchtime, we headed out to the French Quarter. The atmosphere was chaotic as the Saints were in town facing the Pittsburgh Steelers, both vying for a playoff spot. Saints fans were everywhere acting like it was mardi gras. But there was also a plethora of Steelers fans everywhere we went as well. We finally found a table in a crowded sports bar and grill. TV's lined the walls, showing every game so we could get our fantasy fix. We ended up being there for maybe 4-5 hours.
There were still games left to be played, but we needed some fresh air and had to walk off all food we just devoured. We ended up walking through the market to do some final souvenir shopping. We probably spent another few hours here before the sun began to set.
To cap off our final night, we wandered down by the Mississippi River to watch the sunset before heading back to the airbnb to prepare for our early morning flights back home.
It was an amazing trip with some pretty fantastic people and I cannot wait until the next adventure.
