Celebrate

What a great weekend to celebrate Memorial Day. Unfortunately, I was not able to return home and be with family, or get to go out and put flowers on any graves like the years past, but I was able to enjoy a great weekend in the South. For having no plans, the weekend ended up being very busy as well as relaxing (if that's possible). Saturday we decided to head South and check out New Orleans. I had never been so I was so excited!

(Clarify: I am wearing a strapless dress)

Our first stop was Vicksburg MS. We went to the battlefield of Vicksburg and I will have to say, it was very interesting and learned a lot. It was very neat to get to see it on such a memorable weekend.





We got to New Orleans and enjoyed walking around the French Quarters. We enjoyed some Bubba Gump Shrimp and headed to Bourbon! I don't even know where to start. I saw more things than I ever imagined. I have no idea how Mardi Gras can get much crazier. It was so fun to experience and glad I went, probably not something I would want to do every weekend. I do feel that I do need to see it ONE time for Mardi Gras next year. Sunday was so nice. The weather was amazing and we got to walk down on the River Walk and enjoy the fun Cajun shops and boats that were all out. 
I had such a fun time and was worn out when he headed home. 
Monday we enjoyed a BBQ with friends that were around with some bocce ball and cards added in.
I am so thankful for all the men and women who have risked their lives so I can live mine. I enjoyed such a fun weekend and so glad I could enjoy new adventures!
