ALOHA EVERYONE!!!

ITS NOW OUR OFFICIAL FIRST DAY IN NEW ORLEANS AND WE WERE HUNGRY AND WE HEADED OVER TO THE RUBY SLIPPER CAFE FOR BREAKFAST!!!

I WAS CRAVING FOR SOME EGGS BENEDICTS WITH EXTRA HOLLANDAISE SAUCE & GRITS WHILE VICKIE WASTED NO TIME GETTING HER COFFEE AND TEQUILA BLOODY MARY ON!!!

A HAPPY WOMAN = A HAPPY DAY TO FOLLOW!!!

AFTER OUR YUMMY MEAL AND SICE WE ARE IN THE FRENCH QUARTERS, WE WALKED AROUND THE AREA AND TOWARDS THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER.

AFTER A BEAUTIFUL MORNING WALK WE HEADED OVER TO GO GET OUR VAMPIRE BALL GEARS AND CRUISED AROUND THE TOWN DRIVING AND MAKING STOPS AT "TRADER JOES" & "THE BURGER COMPANY".

AFTER A LONG AND FUN  DAY DRIVING AROUND, IT WAS TIME FOR A SHORT NAP BACK AT THE HOTEL AND THEN GET READY FOR A NIGHT OF FUN!!!

OUR FIRST STOP IS AT THE "VOODOO LOUNGE" WHERE OUR "VAMPIRE TOUR" BEGINS AT.  CLICK HERE >>>FRENCH QUARTER PHANTOMS

WE GOT ANOTHER ROUND OF HURRICANES TO GO ALONG WITH THE TOUR, IF WE'RE GONN AGET SPOOKED, WE MIGHT AS WELL GET DRUNKED & SPOOKED ALL AT ONCE!!!

 

THIS IS THE FAMOUS "LALAURIE MANSION", AND IT HAS A VERY DARK HISTORY AND KNOWN TO BE VERY HAUNTED!!!

 

WE DO NOT WANT TO GIVE THE TOUR AWAY AS FOR WHAT WE EXPERIENCED, BUT WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TOUR COMPANY AS OUR TOUR GUIDE IS AWESOME AND HE DEFINITELY RESEARCHED THE EARLY HISTORY OF NEW ORLEANS.  THEY MANY OTHER WALKING TOURS AND WE'D DEFINITELY GO BACK AGAIN!!!
