New Orleans Travel Guide: eat, shop, drink, do!

Acme Oyster House in New Orleans

It always takes so long to sum up a trip, doesn't it? It's one part savoring the memories in your brain and one part diving back into reality and trying to get your bearings. At least for me it is! To sum it up, my birthday trip to New Orleans was a colorful blast. It was just my husband and I so we got to eat, shop, drink and do whatever we wanted to and on our timeline which is a refreshing break from the norm. 

Today I am going to summarize our favorite spots and all that we accomplished in a our 5-day stint!

There is so much more to do and see. We stayed four nights so we crammed in as much as possible and walked EVERYWHERE! You really need to walk off those beignets, my friends.

NOLA has a lot to offer. It's colorful, culturally rich, delicious and full of history. When asked if I would return again? I would. I would love to experience Jazz Fest because the music truly blew me away. Perhaps this list will grow with time!
