Vacations, vacations. Is there ever such a thing as too many? Overruled! I say this to anyone who advises yes.
While my favorite vacay memory is a toss up from NYC, (you remember the one where Hunter and I were almost arrested in an underground purse ring bust? No? Please refresh your laughter/fear altimeter here), or our first New Orleans visit together, I shall go with.......
Nawlins for the win!
This was the best because it was the first vacation Hunter and I ever took together; New Orleans is an amazing city full of heart, love, and damn delicious food; and we just happened to wake up on our second day to find snow, which happened to be the first time in 20 years it snowed there! We, as two born and raised Florida kids, had never, ever experienced this mythical creature known as snow. Hunter had only seen flurries in Alabama and I had nada. Very exciting to say the least, and far too cold for my sunshine state living self.
Note to self: Never pick up a snowball with cotton gloves
How many people can say they have a snow encrusted picture of this?
Snowball fight obvi
Making frands wherever we went
It was so much fun that we went back exactly one year later with a friend and had yet another amazing time, minus the snow. We should go back 20 years from that first visit and see if it happens again. Hmm...14 hour road trip?? Again?? Perhaps, or perhaps I could just scratch Hunter's eyes out in the comfort of our own living room. Because I don't care who you are, who you're with, spending that amount of time in the car with the same person will draw the devil right out of ya.
Totally kidding. Don't we look happy? This was the last day of the trip as we were leaving the city:
Tell me, was your favorite vacay hot or cold in temp?
Until we meet again,

Oh wow, I can't imagine snow in NOLA! I wrote a bit about it myself today, but my experience was a little different! :)
ReplyDeleteIsn't NOLA great? Man, it is seriously such an amazing city and after reading your post, now I want beignets so badly :)
DeleteMy best vacation was with warm weather! So cool that you got to experience the snow there!

It was cool and a complete fluke we were there when we were. I need a warm vacay right about now too :)
DeleteI want to visit NOLA. I didn't know it snowed there. How awesome! It's like the weather people knew you would be visiting and wanted you to experience snow!
