It seems like just yesterday we were in New Orleans for our cruise. Yesterday we were back after having attended my brother’s wedding in Covington on the North Shore. We dropped my brother and his new wife off at the cruise terminal and headed to our hotel.
We stayed in the Omni New Orleans on St. [...]

Here’s my stepmom and cousin.
And me and Josh.
The reception was at a pavilion in Fontainbleau State Park. They had wine, home brewed beer [...]

I have to get ready for the wedding pretty soon, but here’s a recap of the past few days. We arrived in New Orleans on NYE around 7:30, picked up the rental car and drove about an hour or so to Covington. We picked up a quick dinner (Wendy’s…grilled chicken sandwich, fries, and a diet [...]

Hi, everyone! Sorry for the late posting. There wasn’t much to say before now. I had planned to blog from the Norfolk airport while we were waiting but they bumped us up to an earlier flight so there wasn’t time.
We just arrived in Charlotte…famous for their rocking chairs.
The husband is laying on the [...]

Good evening!! I hope you’re recovering from all the festivities quite well. We got back home around 2:30 and then had to clean out the rental car before returning it. When we got home the husband convinced me to snuggle with him rather than go to the gym. It didn’t take much convincing considered I [...]

Hi! I hope everyone is having a wonderful Christmas Eve. I don’t have much in the way of food pictures. This morning I had Cinnamon Roll oatmeal as soon as I woke up.
Then when everyone sat down for breakfast I had two pancakes, two pieces of sausage, two pieces of bacon, and a glass [...]

The next day we woke up and tried to find an affordable place for breakfast. Using the Where app on my G1, we found the Clover Grill, which as it turns out had a scene in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. I think I had grits with toast and eggs.
I took this picture standing [...]

This one is just of New Orleans where we spent two days after returning from the cruise. We checked into the Royal Sonesta hotel on Bourbon St. which we got an awesome deal on via Orbitz the night before.
After not having our reservation and then giving us a room with only one bed (we needed [...]

Day 4 of the cruise found us in Cozumel, Mexico. We booked a snorkeling excursion with our friends Kim and Keenan. There were also unlimited margaritas. It started with snorkeling and then we went to the beach where they had a bunch of inflatable waters toys like a trampoline and the Iceberg. I [...]
