Since my first visit to New Orleans, several years ago, I have always wanted to go back to see the city dressed up for Christmas. I just love Christmas decorations, specifically classic evergreens, red bows and garlands with twinkle lights.
When I was offered the opportunity to teach a workshop in December, I jumped at the opportunity. No matter that it was the weekend right after conferences and right after my report card debacle. I was in and I couldn't wait. Those of you that know me, know how stressed deadlines can make me, but I think I handled the stress fairly well. On Friday I took myself over the bridge to PHL and headed to NOLA for a special December visit. To make the deal even sweeter, I offered Jessica the opportunity to join me and she accepted! Such fun!
Once we arrived, we were out to investigate.
Mother's for lunch then off to The French Market!
Wandering for hours. We tried to see as much as possible. Jackson Square, the cathedral, Bourban Street and so many other sights to behold!
Such fun we had! Our three days flew by. Before you know it, we were on our way home. Jessica to NYC and me to PHL. I don't think we will ever forget the wonderful experience we had during the magical season of Christmas!
