new orleans






for my birthday we went to new orleans for the weekend. the weather was perfect and we had a blast! there is so much to do and see there. it is one of the coolest cities ever. it feels like you're in another country completely down in the french quarter. the garden district is so beautiful and the houses are amazing. we went down magazine street, there was 6 miles of shopping - so cool! we did a city tour and they took us down to the lower 9th ward where hurricane katrina completely devastated the area. it was so sad. it is still in really bad shape. there are houses falling apart and dilapidated all over and empty lots where houses once were.

the culture is amazing there and we had a great time. olivia was such a champ. she rode in the backpack and made friends with everyone. we bought a trolley pass and every trolley we got on she made friends with someone.

thank you blake for such a great birthday!
