Cozy Saturday

A nice cozy relaxing Saturday morning. Started off with a run cup of coffee on the couch (followed by the run). Next up? Christmas shopping and cleaning/organizing the apartment - that big pile of shoes in the front closet really need a shoe rack. I'm so enjoying these first few quiet mornings without all the rushing that normally happens in the morning.

Unfortunately, I broke this cup in the kitchen sink directly after taking this picture. 

Back to Anthro I guess . . . darn.

Day Five and Six: Happy Thanksgiving

I'm tired from all the driving but happy to be drinking a little champagne in Nashville.

New Orleans was, as one might expect, amazing! My legs are still sore from all the walking around. We had perfect 73 degree weather for all three days - just right for aimless exploring marked with brief stops for coffee, beignets, and beer. What else? A bayou swamp tour with the a nice cajun who lectured us on exactly why Louisinans take offense at such shows as Swamp People (rightly so). Saw some alligators, armadillos, herons, and floating trailers. Also learned a whole lot about the swamp of Slidell, LA.

I have way too many photos to go through - which I will do as soon as possible. Here are a few of my favorites from days five and.

Happy Thanksgiving! We are enjoying a Food Network-esque cooking challenge in the hotel room (hot plates and thanksgiving dinner?) and as I mentioned - some delicious champagne.

More to come!!
