The next morning we made the drive to Destin with the top down - by the time we arrived we both had sunburns ;) We stayed at a Hilton Resort right on the beach and it was lovely! We had a giant corner room that was larger than our apartment!
(Please forgive the photo quality - if you know me you won't be surprised that I left my camera at home)
It was supposed to rain each morning we were there and it never did so we were very lucky. I did get to enjoy the Serenity Spa while we were there, I had a great facial and an awful hair cut. I had been growing my hair out since January and when you see me you will find it short again. Oh well :)
After Destin we began our way back to Katy, stopping for the night in New Orleans. I had never been to Bourbon Street and I was excited! It was NOT what I expected. I was expecting something like 6th street -- you know, a ton of bars, a few homeless people with a little more jazz and beer on the streets. I could hardly stand the STENCH of the street! It smelled like vomit and the homeless. (I don't know if thats rude, but its totally true) I was also kind of scared! We were there around 4:30 and it was packed with people. Jazz fest was going on but Tyler said it was always full. We walked around, took some photos and Tyler had a few drinks. After dinner at Acme Oyster House we decided to call it a night!
We stayed at the Roosevelt Hotel which was nice but way creepy. I didn't sleep a wink that night because I was convinced our room was haunted. I finally went to sleep around 5:30 am and of course my wonderful husband was awake around 6:30 ready to start his day.
SO the next day was the French Quarter. It was so beautiful! I loved it. One thing I noticed about New Orleans is that one street is beautiful and the next is awful. Here are a few photos of our day there!
Now we are back to the real world! :) I just finished finals and we are in the middle of house hunting! Hopefully my next blog will be about our new house..
I know I say it every time, but I WILL blog MORE! :)
