Magnum

Last night was our eventful trip to the French Quarter... and boy, it was one like no other. First of all, we decided to reserve a room at a hotel so we didn't have to go far and to continue our sightseeing in the morning - during the day time. We didn't, however, reserve a hotel room because we wanted to get smashed....

My father-in-law had other plans.

He didn't come with us, but he did secretly give my dad a drink suggestion when we were to arrive at the famous Pat O'Briens Dad had this huge grin. A waitress was walking our way with the biggest beverage glass I had ever seen in my life...

The Magnum.

It's just a hurricane for a giant or two.

We took our time and the 7 of us (Mom, Dad, my Mother-in-Law, Gordon, Alicia, Jon Paul and I) sipped away. People would come to us and ask to take a picture with it. They would come and tell us to "Chug". When we would leave to go to the bathroom and the waitress would ask us if we needed a seat or a drink when we came back, we said "No, we're with the magnum" and we were left alone.

In the end, I think we drank about 1/2 of it's 384 oz (3 gal) glory... and we were still able to walk out with no problem... goal accomplished.

This morning we walked around the quarter and even bought a few pieces of art for our house, and took some fantastic pics. The French Quarter is actually quite beautiful during the day! :)
