Haaaaappy Friday!! I could not be more glad it’s the weekend. What a week, huh?
Let’s see what’s happened since I last wrote a this & that post…
I went to New Orleans last weekend with Idan to visit our friends that we made on our Mexico trip last year! They live there and we were due for a visit. NOLA is one of my favorite places and it was so special to show Idan. I can’t get enough of the music, the houses, and the food. We had po’ boys galore, went to a Jazz show at Preservation Hall, and did a swamp tour! I can’t wait to visit again.
On the same travel vein… we just booked a trip to London and Paris this summer! I am SO FRICKIN EXCITED. I’ve never been to either city and we already have mile-long wish lists of things to do there. Also, we will be in London for the Royal Wedding so I’m extra thrilled about that part. I also definitely already booked our tickets to the Harry Potter WB Studio Tour… nerd alert.
I’m spending this weekend at home just relaxing and unwinding from this crazy work week. I’ll also be working hard on my Chicago travel guide! On to what’s interesting me this week…
