It's getting to be that time of year again, bon fires and bare feet in the grass. No matter how old I get I'm always so excited to see the fireflies lighting up the night like glitter.
I don't know about you, but I'm ready to jump into Summer 2014.

When I asked MK for a hint about where we were going on our trip he said "Great Food!" Well that could really be anywhere but once we got to New Orleans and started eating, I really understood what he meant because the food was to die for! One of my favorite things in the world is seeing the culture of other places and of course their cuisine. The Foodie in me was in heaven; from famous Po Boys to even more famous Beignets at Cafe Du Monde, you could basically close your eyes and point to a menu and you wouldn't be disappointed.
Oyster Po Boy ordered at the advice of our waitress.
Jambalaya!
Cafe Du Monde only serves Beignets and coffee and you'll be lucky if you find a seat.
When booking this trip MK said it was an absolute requirement to stay in a hotel that had the infamous New Orleans balconys. Not only was this hotel beautiful inside and out but the service was fabulous.
Both of us being photographers, when we saw our balcony we couldn't stop taking photos there.
That's Bourbon Street right behind us.
Being a dancer my whole life, I often fight the urge to strike a pose. Often times I loose that battle.
Where else can you see a random parade in the middle of the day for absolutely no reason? Here of course! Such an amazing trip and of course I couldn't leave without getting a Bloody Mary!
Travel Attire
My sweet Husband surprised me with a trip to New Orleans for my birthday! It was an absolute blast! This is part one of three posts from our trip.
Back in the days of Camelot and Marilyn, Woodstock and fabulous pillbox hats, traveling was a privilege. Men always wore a tie and ladies never had on "slacks". Today, however is a very different story. In a time where most are only concerned with comfort, they throw on their baggy sweat pants, dingy tee and jump on the plane.
Now I don't expect any man in a tie, or all ladies in a skirt but I do believe most have gotten a little lax on their travel attire. Jeans and a nice blazer will make all the difference!
Here are my travel outfits.

A travel tip to you:
See those wheels on my suitcase? They swivel. This is my first set of luggage that does this. For your next luggage purchase, this is the way to go!
It will change your travel life!!
