New Orleans—Road Trip

New Orleans trip
St. Louis Cathedral—welcome to Jackson Square.

Who needs a little escape from reality today? The Big Easy is a great destination for a little get-a-way. Great food and drinks, historical buildings, wonderful music, interesting people and, of course, beignets at Cafe Du Monde on the river are all good reasons to take the trip. Shopping for the blog, aka-me, ranks right up there with afternoon cocktails—and you know  everyone in New Orleans observes cocktail hour. Mr. P decided on the fried oysters and shrimp for lunch—yum. This was a quick trip to get passports renewed—Atlanta was a bust. Maybe you need a passport renewal too…take a quick trip to New Orleans and get it accomplished in about 15 minute.! Take this little field trip with me—no permission slip needed.
