I always feel more alive when I'm there. <br /><br />When we lived in Baton Rouge, about once a month, I'd get the family out the door in the morning, put dinner in the crock pot, drive to NO, and be back by the time the kids were home from school. While in NO, I just walked around, absorbing the essence of the city. <br /><br />My next favorite city is Chicago.PC's Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14126688812343179177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-22742303427150187742011-10-11T16:45:27.974-05:002011-10-11T16:45:27.974-05:00Oh, Oh, I want to go!!!! I've always wanted to...Oh, Oh, I want to go!!!! I've always wanted to go back to New Orleans. I'm sure my experiences were tame compared to everyone else's -- I went as a teenager on a missions trip. We led children's activities for a mission near the river, and at night went to visit a few places. Nope, our youth leaders never took us down Bourbon Street. :)<br /><br />But I have wonderful memories of the aquarium and Cafe du Monde's. I'd love to experience some of the "real" New Orleans, like the garden district, some of the plantations, and walking the French Quarter.<br /><br />Must. Schedule. This.

Mostly ate at hole-in-the-wall places where the food was good and the atmosphere was hole-in-the-wall. But I have had beignets at Cafe du Monde. YUM-OH!<br /><br />San Francisco spoke to me and I left my heart there just like the Tony Bennett song. I'd love to go back and spend more time exploring the city and its surrounding areas. But I'd go back to NOLA with the Playfriends. I could be your designated driver. ~grin~Playground Monitorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07444337591281145863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-86310703475211464762011-10-11T09:04:53.770-05:002011-10-11T09:04:53.770-05:00We ate at Brennan's Cheryl -- huge dent in AC&...We ate at Brennan's Cheryl -- huge dent in AC's college fund, but sooo good. I know they're famous for the Bananas Foster, but the Crepes Fitzgerald were to die for. <br /><br />And I'm up for a Playfriend road trip!<br /><br />The funny part of the weekend was that I ran into a friend of mine from high school in the Quarter!Problem Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01456049865200737618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-40783682681348662742011-10-11T08:42:57.217-05:002011-10-11T08:42:57.217-05:00I've actually never been to New Orleans.

And while I'll always love the Mouse and have plans to visit again in a few months, I'm looking forward to interspersing those trips with a chance to see other places. I'm dying to visit the Grand Canyon. <br /><br />InstiKira Sinclair - AKA Instigatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14274056066229852126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-77147746307779973002011-10-11T08:39:18.272-05:002011-10-11T08:39:18.272-05:00I've never been to New Orleans, but you've...I've never been to New Orleans, but you've inspired me. I think we need a Playfriend trip.<br /><br />The hero of my current book is building a high rise of luxury condos in New Orleans. The book is set there for all of 10 pages, so it doesn't really matter, but if his site manager gets a book in the future, the whole book may be set there. Definitely need to visit for research then...Andrea Laurence AKA Smarty Pantshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13518751514879244662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-164329016075379222011-10-11T08:16:36.372-05:002011-10-11T08:16:36.372-05:00I simply adore New Orleans!
