I have not posted in a few days as I went down to New Orleans with my husband to enjoy some much needed kid free time!     My husband and I have been planning to head to the French Quarter since Katrina hit back in 2005.   We were originally scheduled to go about 1 a week after Katrina hit New Orleans, which obviously we didn't.

I had seen many pictures, heard many stories about the French Quarter, saw the small city within the city in movies, books, etc...But nothing describes the French Quarter until you have been there.   I happened to love the French Quarter and enjoyed all areas of our mini-vacation.   The city was nothing of what I expected.   I had heard it was dirty; streets filled with urine and vomit, city smelled and drunk people everywhere.   Bourbon Street fit that description at times, but the other streets of the French Quarter were charming.   I found the city to be clean, full of character and romantic.   I miss New Orleans and I have only been gone a day or more.

Here is my favorite photo from my recent visit and if you want feel free to check out all of the photos I took during my recent trip!
