DIRRRTY SOUTH!

Last week I went out Louisiana to visit my man! He is working out there for the summer. I have traveled all over the world but never really been to the REAL south....let me just tell you that the south is a world of it's own! It was soooooooooo much fun! If it weren't for the hot humid climate I might just be able to live there. I love the southern culture and the food. It was so nice to be able to hang out with Jord all week. I even took Jersey pups outwith me to visit him because she hasn't seen him since the end of April! (That was an adventure of it's own!! I carried her on the plane with me in a little pet carrier!!) I actually ended up leaving her out in LA with Jord because I am going back out there on July 6th and didn't want to pay to fly her out again. Anyway---Here are a few of the highlights of the trip: We went on an airboat swamp tour to find us some Gators! It was so freaking fun, our tour guide was awesome and found us lots to look at. We also went down to New Orleans and went to the Audubon Aquarium, Bourbon Street, and the French Quarter. By the time we were done walking down bourbon street I had LOTS of beads around my neck....whoever said you gotta show some skin to get beads? Just gotta be blonde lol. It was quite the eye opener if you know what I mean....I can't even imagine how crazy it gets at Mardi Gras! At the French Quarter of course we had to go to Cafe Du Monde and get us some beignets, they were DELISH! While the boys were at work I did a lot of hanging out with the other wives that have husbands working out there, lots of pool time, shopping, and even a little bachelorette party! It was super relaxing and really fun, I can't even imagine if I lived out there with him for the summer, it would be like a 4 month long vacation. Oh well, I guess someone has to take care of all the sick people at home :) Can't wait to go back out there. My ticket is booked from July 6th-19th, but I think I might just call extend it for another week or two!
