NOLA 2014

This past Labor Day weekend I made my first trip to New Orleans, LA for a friend's 40th birthday.  It was the perfect way to celebrate a birthday and now I'm inspired to do something equally as fun when my 40th rolls around.  NOLA was an amazing, although tropical, city with tons of fantastic architecture and history, not to mention I finally got to see the end of the Mississippi - the river I have lived near the beginning of almost my entire life.

I was so in love with the French Quarter I just wanted to share some of the photos from my 48 hours there.  Also included are photos from the great view from our balcony at the Hotel Monteleone and St. Louis Cemetery where the famous Voodoo queen was buried - twice!

On my next visit there I will have to make it a longer stay so I can soak up more of the history and culture, not to mention the beignets and ghost tours!

Did I mention there was a rooftop pool at our hotel?  Yep, pretty awesome-sauce!
