    Getting a little In and Out after Tattoos

    Okay, I’ll admit this title sounds dirtier than I intended. But if it got you to click, then…really, that’s on you. Anyway this week we will continue the odyssey in the desert where we get a little In and Out (burger) after getting $10 tattoos. Oh and we also hit a new rooftop bar, throw darts and enjoy a gondola ride! It’s going to be a fun one this week! The Preamble: Checking in on our progress Traveling with twenty-somethings has led to a very interesting group project – building a “beer-a-mid”.

    The Front Row Blues in the Big Easy

    After the long epic day of art, pride and jazz, we decided to just stay in bed and take it easy. Just kidding. Of COURSE we didn’t stay in. I mean, we only had one day left in New Orleans, and you can sleep on the plane. Probably. Anyway, join us as we unpack our last day where we visit the blacksmith shop, eat oysters and get the front row blues in the Big Easy. First…Coffee, please I won’t lie. When I woke up on Sunday I was feeling a tad “under the weather”. But I’m not one to let how I’m feeling impact what I’m doing so I ordered…

    Chasing Ghosts (among other things) in the Big Easy

    I don’t know about you but sometimes I feel like life can be…a lot. You feel me? And last month was extra much. Though I tried to compartmentalize and take things as they came, Stephen could see I was carrying a lot of stress on my shoulders. Knowing me like he does, he planned a curated weekend around all the things I love…history, ghost stories, folk lore, live music, great food, art, and alcohol. If that sounds like fun to you too…join us as we unpack our first day in New Orleans and go chasing ghosts (among other things) in the Big Easy. First, let’s talk about where we stayed…
