Was on my way to a fancier dinner when I passed this little place near Jackson Square. Gumbo was on my list of things I had to try, and Yelp gave this place decent reviews. I decided to deviate from my original plan and give it a try.
I ordered the Chicken and Andouille Gumbo with a HurricaneRead more
March 18, 2018 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 72 °FOne of the most photographed and iconic places in Nee Orleans, Jackson Square is a big part of the city’s history. The park was filled with tourists and street vendors. Bagpipes played in the background. It was the perfect spot to sit on a bench and read as the energy of the city surrounded me.

I was super excited when I found out that this restaurant was next door to my hotel. This shows up on a lot of lists of places to have breakfast. I was up early and decided to give it a try.
They are well-known for their Bananas Foster French Toast so it didn’t take me a ton of time to place myRead more

When I booked my trip, I had no idea it fell over St. Patties Day weekend. I’m not a big drinker but decided to explore the craziness of Bourbon Street on the biggest drinking day of the year.
Wow. It was crazy. I was the only one on the street not wearing green and not carrying a drink. IRead more

Dinner tonight was my first sampling of one of New Orleans’ famous eats! I chose the BBQ Chicken Confit...chicken smothered in coffee barbecue sauce, ranch slaw and red onions stuffed inside a deliciously soft hoagie roll.
It was messy but delicious!
March 17, 2018 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 77 °FI had an hour to kill before returning my rental car. City Park was on my list of places to visit, and it was an easy detour on the way to the airport. It’s one of the nation’s oldest urban parks dating back to 1854. It is almost like stepping back into time with the massive oak trees that areRead more

Landed in New Orleans around 12:30am on Saturday. Picked up my rental car and drove the 45 minutes to a little town called Slidell. I opted for a Motel 6 since I only needed a room for a few hours. It wasn’t 4 star lodging but it did the job.
The time difference had me up early so I had plentyRead more

Our final day has arrived! We had a day to spend in Portland before heading home to Virginia. I couldn’t pass up another opportunity for a Holy Donut. I went with that maple bacon one and was definitely not disappointed!
We spent a few hours exploring the shops before heading to a nearby beach.Read more

We were both ready to pack up the tent and head towards Portland where there was a hot shower and comfortable bed.
We had a minor fender bender in the campground parking lot which put us slightly behind schedule.
We still found a few hours to stop in Freeport and visit the original LL Bean StoreRead more

It was hard to leave Boothbay Harbor but our evening’s accommodations were over an hour away. This would be our last night in a campground, and we were more than ready to be done with the rafts we were using for mattresses.
Wolfe’s Neck Campground came highly recommended. It’s located on aRead more
