Big Time Lovin for the Big Easy

Today I would like to show some love to one of my favorite US cities- New Orleans, Louisiana! And it's a perfect time given that the Saints are playing (read winning) in the Super Bowl this weekend! 

I went to NOLA last year for a psychology conference (which also happened to be during Mardi Gras) and I absolutely fell in love! It has so much personality and character! Not to mention the food is out of this world!  If you have never traveled south to New Orleans you must! I'm trying to talk my parents into taking a little trip there this year.

While I was there I did lots of touristy things, of course! Here are some pictures from my trip...

 

  

  

  

  

  

  

 

The last picture was one that I took of a house all decked out for Mardi Gras. I couldn't believe how people decorate their homes for Mardi Gras like most of us decorate for Christmas! It was so cool!

And as you can seen from the two pictures above, the Mardi Gras floats are amazing! We also took this really neat ghost tour of the French Quarter. You can see from the pic that I was very excited about it! The other pictures are some that I took while walking around the city, landmarks and anything else that I thought was cool :)

Have you all been to NOLA? What did you think? Would you like to travel there?

Don't forget my giveaway ends today! Go enter!

Happy Saturday, everyone!
