We had a wonderful trip to visit family in Louisiana, Kelsey and I were welcomed into the Gunkel family with open arms and we found out that we are all pretty good traveling companions. After two days in Slidell (including a 7 mile run!) A and I went down to New Orleans while Kels hung out with her new cousins. During our two "kidless" days we had the opportunity to take lots of photos, start new travel traditions and walk around the Big Easy with the largest daiquiri I've ever seen!
Wandering the foggy streets in the early morning hours as New Orleans wakes up was beautiful, there was plenty of live music, tasty Cafe du Monde beignets, and beautiful galleries with artists in process. The French Market was divine and we found lots of goodies at the flea market. If you have the right shoes (luckily we did) you can pretty much spend an entire day walking the streets, which we did.
Here is a peek at some of the beauty we encountered along the streets of NOLA.
