Hi Guys! Thank you for keeping my little blog company while I was gone! Hello to the new readers- you are all so sweet and I can't wait to get to know you!
It was a great trip and I'm suddenly having to compose myself and resist spontaneous outburts of
'Who Dat!?!' while doing my daily tasks. I came back to a crrraaaazy day at work and haven't been able to comment on your fabulous blogs yet, but I'm catching up- I promise!
Since it took me several posts to recap our
honeymoon, I thought I would give you the highlights in one easy shot! I do have to add the disclaimer that the camera is acting up and we have a lot of blurry pictures.
Here we go! We started by walking down to the French Quarter to see various parades (including a dog parade) prior to the Super Bowl. I enjoyed a Bloody Mary at about 11:00 AM:
We found a Saints player on our way:
We went to the French Quarter and got to see an original restored home. It was amazing. Look at the view outside of it! Who Dat!!
We went out into the main square on our walk- it was breathtaking:
After the game we went outside- we watched the game in our friend's friend's apartment right in the French Quarter. We walked 10 feet and this was the scene:
I was really excited, despite my cold! It was amazing- people were so excited and the energy was great!
The next day we set out on a walking tour and saw the cemetary:
We stopped at the Riverwalk and explored the shops before taking the ferry to Algiers:
We also explored a beautiful plantation- the views and furniture were out of control!
Finally, we stuffed our cheeks (literally) with French donuts (Beignets) and Cafe au Lait at
Cafe DuMond:
It was a fun, relaxing, and memorable experience. I didn't have the most balanced eats- I think I ate maybe 2 servings of fruits and vegetables the whole time, but that's what vacation is all about, huh? I also caught a cold as soon as we got on a plane and I'm fighting it, so I gotta scale down my activity until I'm feeling less congested. No biggie- it means I'll be super excited to get back into it!
I'm looking forward to catching up with all of you! Only a couple more days till the long weekend begins!
What have I missed!? Who is getting excited for chocolate, candy, flower, heart day? I am!
