Laissez le Bon Temp Rouler! A NOLA photo-blog.

This is what they say in N'awlins! Translation: Let the Good Times Roll!

Josh and I spent the past week in New Orleans as a little "get away" trip to celebrate my graduation and passage into adult-world. We figured that this may be one of the last care-free vacations we get so we'd better take it while we can (and boy, did we)! Despite going to New Orleans just last June, we couldn't come up with a better alternative in such a short time (only 6 days to plan it) and for such a small amount of money. New Orleans is relatively cheap anyways, but being that it is hurricane season it is REALLY cheap! So, we took our chances and our umbrellas and took a road trip to The Big Easy. We stayed in the same hotel as last time, making it an even cheaper trip because the hotel comp'd our parking, saving us over $100! (YAY) We had a great time: ate a lot, drank a lot, and were quite merry!

Amazing shrimp Po-Boy Sandwich and Josh's Cajun goodness

And that, my friends, is a photo blog. It took me forever to download these pics so I hope you enjoy them. AND I hope that you don't think that all we (I) did was drink yummy beverages. I walked A LOT too! Ta-ta for now!
