Jobs Jobs Jobs

This summer is filled with jobs for me. Not only am I interning at the United Way, but they offered me an on and off, part time job after my internship. I am also still working at the hospital every other weekend, saving lives of course. And finally, back to what I love most, nannying. Babysitting is probably one of THE easiest jobs anyone could ask for. You basically get paid to hang out with little kids-and the summer time is the best time to nanny. This includes: fun days at the zoo, pool, gardening, crafts - I mean the amount of activities that you can do with two little girls is endless.

Although I know that I am very lucky to have all of these job opportunities, I can't help but miss my relaxing summer last year in Leadville, CO. I miss the beauty of the mountains, the perfect temperature - after the snow melted - and the laid back way of life my uncle and I had riding through the mountains on his motorcycle or going fishing every afternoon when my aunt would get off work.





But here I am, almost a college graduate, getting ready for the real world.

The Big Easy

I just recently got back from a trip from Louisiana to visit my family. (technically I just got back yesterday) I have been down to Louisiana every year, sometimes more than once a year, since I was a new born baby. Over the years we have done a variety of things in Louisiana, from going to visit Mike the Tiger at LSU to riding four-wheelers through the sugar cane fields, to walking down Bourbon Street watching people make complete fools of themselves.

I think maybe it is because I have "been there, done that" so many times down there that I begin to realize that I would much rather just hang out at my grandparents' house in their little town of Vacherie than parade around the streets of New Orleans like a tourist. Don't get me wrong, there are always things to see in the city, but the more and more I travel there, I realize that city life would not be for me.



There are two places that I always must go when I go to New Orleans though-and the only reasons I continue to go there:
The Court of Two Sisters
Pat O'Brians

The Court of Two Sisters is my all time favorite place to eat!! The turtle soup and the duck are a must have and I never leave there without bananas foster.

Pat O'Brians is a given. They are famous for their hurricane drinks and are delicious! The atmosphere is my favorite because I'm not a "club going" kind of girl and I can just sit in the courtyard and visit with whoever I am with.
