It seems like the past few times that I have visited NOLA, I haven't had the opportunity to do and see the things that I feel are important for my kids to experience in my hometown. So, when we are there in June, I am making a list of everything that I plan to see/do/visit/experience - even if I have to pack them all into a few days! And obviously, there will be lots of pictures - photos that I can edit, develop, and hang in our home so that my children will understand just how important the city of New Orleans is to me - to my past and to our future.
- Hansen's Sno Bliz
- The Zoo
- The Aquarium
- French Quarter and all that that entails: St. Louis Cathedral, Cafe duMonde, Jackson Square, and on & on.
- Uptown, the Garden District, and the Univeristy area
- riding the street cars and seeing the River
- of course 'llI have to visit Sucre, PJ's on Magazine, Scriptura, earthsavers, The Flying Burrito, and Central Grocery
And of course, our trip south wouldn't be complete without a much needed visit to the white, sandy beaches of the Emerald Coast! I am so excited to be able to go back to our *home* for the last 9 of 10 years of our lives. We'll get to visit friends, soak up some sun, enjoy some crazy good seafood, and just relax while enjoying Destin and FWB.
So, get ready Southerners - the Johnson clan from Texas is heading home to recoup, and enjoy some of the much needed southern hospitality that's totally in our blood!!
