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.
