Welcome to my blog. I write mostly about travel and in particular my love of Disney, with a few tidbits such as musings about movies or theater thrown in for good measure. I have stories dating all the way back to 1997 so be sure to explore! I don't post regularly, so if you want updates be sure to join and follow this blog (links below).

New Orleans, October 2012

New Orleans, October 2012

Nat had been to New Orleans twice on service trips, helping rebuild neighborhoods devistated by Katrina and Andie and I had been to New Orleans many years ago, but Charlotte had never been, so we decided to go on a short four-day family trip in October 2012. Andie's sister Lee joined us for the first two days as well.

Among the highlights:

  • Walking around the French Quarter
  • Shopping on Magazine Street
  • A visit to Mardi Gras World
  • Unexpectedly running into a Blues Festival
  • Visiting an old cemetery
  • Visiting the WWII museum
  • The Three Muses restaurant (awesome food - highly recommended)
  • Listening to terrific local singer Gal Holiday
Here are some pictures from our trip:

Walking Around the French Quarter and Magazine Street:



There is a lot of amazing entertainment to be found and great music is everywhere... often in the street or in the cafes:






A stop at Cafe du Monde is always required...






A trip to one of NOLA's amazing graveyards:


























A trip to Mardi Gras World - well worth it, especially if you're a photographer:
