We were only in New Orleans for 4 days so we tried to make the most of it! We stayed busy for most of the time, but I sprained my foot halfway through the trip so we weren’t able to do as much, especially if it involved walking or a lot of traveling. We joked that the first half of the trip it was raining and the second half of the trip I was limping around so we never really got a “good” day…

Well, it turns out that Magazine Street is six miles of restaurants, antique stores, boutiques…
Read MoreNick and I chose to go to New Orleans this winter quite randomly. We knew which dates we wanted so we researched and found the cheapest option, which happened to be New Orleans. Even though it wasn’t on our list of travels for the near future, I had mentioned coming here a few times before, and with the low prices, we decided to go for it!
