New Orleans Soiree

Greetings from BR! Vita and I had a wonderful trip to New Orleans this week. I had a few days off from school and Vita was fortunate enough to get some time off also. We got to spend Thursday and part of Friday in the French Quarter. I really loved it! We got to visit three fun bookstores (including the Faulkner Library) and I bought a book about my favorite composer, Richard Wagner. We got to eat at the Hard Rock Cafe, Fiorella's, and the Mona Lisa. All three restaurants were great, but all very different from each other. My favorite was the Mona Lisa because it was the first place Vita and I got to go as a married couple. We also got to go on a Haunted Tour. It was very interesting. I enjoyed getting to hear the ghost stories. I hope to get to go for the Vampire Tour and the Haunted History Tour (it was voted the best tour in New Orleans) sometime in the future.

All in all it was a really fun trip: Vita and I really got to spend some wonderful, quality time together and I got to experience some of the fun places she remembered from her childhood and teen years. I can't wait to go back!

Jon

New Orleans

Next week we are going to spend a night in New Orleans.  I have been wanting to get away for sometime.  We cannot go on my weekends off, because Jon has to play for church on Sundays.  I figured it would be good to take most of Thursday off, and spend some time in New Orleans.  I have to go back to work on Saturday, so it is going to be a quick trip.  Jon will be in the middle of his fall break, so it was just a good time for both of us.

We are going to get there as soon as we can on Thursday, and spend some time in the French Quarter.  We are going to go on a ghost tour that night, and spend most of Friday there.

I am so excited!  Can't wait!
