The Big Easy

As some of you know Tatiana, and I are in New Orleans. We tagged along with my mom who came for the SHRM conference. It is becoming quite a trip. It started off with missing our flight (midnight Friday means Friday am and NOT Friday night...duh) then after a red-eye our room was not ready ( though we paid for it to be ready at 3pm the day before). But now that we are here it is quite fun. The local history really is awesome, and everyone has a story and are totally willing to share it. Visiting Jackson Square

Tatiana on Bourbon St. It's pretty cool and fun, but boy is it stinky!!! We haven't really spent a lot of time here even though our hotel (Royal Sonesta which is BEAUTIFUL) sits right on it.

Walking back from dinner near Jackson Square we were hit by a crazy thunderstorm,(and pretty much we get one random a day) there was not much to do except keep walking. It was actually quite fun and it definitely cooled us down. It's not the heat that's so bad it's the darn humidity that's a killer, it's like breathing soup.

We took a swamp tour that was also pretty exciting as another boat broke down and we had to "rescue" it. But we did see lots of gators who knew they liked marshmallows!!
