Hoover Dam.

If you�ve been a reader of my blog for quite some time you know that Sean and I go to Vegas at least once per year.
Although we�ve been going yearly ever since 2008 we never made it out to Hoover Dam.

We decided that we would change that this time around. We went to Vegas with Sean�s parents (our 3rd time going with them!) and it was great to experience something new and different in a place that we visit often.

The drive to the Hoover Dam was spectacular. We ooh�ed and aah�ed constantly. I attempted taking pictures on our drive over but didn�t realize that I got the dashboard in every shot. I apologize for that! So ignore my mistake and take in the view ;).

It was truly breathtaking (these pictures do it no justice) & I could not believe it took us nearly nine years to do the short drive over.

One really neat thing was being able to be in Nevada and Arizona in seconds!

If you�re ever in Vegas I recommend doing this at least once. You can choose to pay for a tour or do like we did and simply park and walk around at your own leisure.

I�ll share more pictures of our trip to Vegas soon. Hope you all had wonderful weekends! ♥

New Orleans: Evening jazz cruise

Image
On our third evening in NOLA, we went on Steamboat Natchez for their evening jazz cruise. It is a two hour cruise ride along the Mississippi River and it was just so beautiful. We had dinner on the boat and although the food was nothing to write home about the overall experience was such a great one. The music, the views, the people... it was truly just a lovely experience. We experienced the loveliest sunset and just being able to see it and be in that moment was just one of the reasons why it really is so grand to be alive. Too many pictures were taken, even Sean wanted to take pictures and well, I don�t think you can blame us too much. Many of my pictures turned out like the one below because of the humidity. My lens would fog up immediately. It truly was such a great evening and one that I will not soon forget.

Good food & good music

Image
I don�t think there are many more things that are better than good food & good music. I truly believe that food & music can often play a role in putting someone in a great mood or a foul mood. For instance, I know that when I hear a song that I use to listen to when I was a kid, it just brings me back to that exact moment and often times I can�t help but get the silliest grin on my face. Anyway, this brunch date with Cinthia on an extremely cold, spring day (not bitter) did just that. It transported me back to New Orleans where I was stuffing my piehole with delicious foods while listening to live jazz music. And what a great time we had! Live jazz, bottomless mimosas, the cheesiest mac and cheese, lightly toasted cornbread, fried green tomatoes, NOLA shrimp and warm beignets. We felt like we ordered it all but truthfully, we hardly touched the surface of the menu. This wasn�t our first time at The Bayou but it was just as enjoyable as the first time. I feel like we w...

Spring made an appearance!

Image
Guys, we finally got spring like weather (80s!!!) and we made sure to take advantage of it. Good thing too because we are back in the 40s & 50s this week. Not nice spring, not nice. We first enjoyed coffee and breakfast on the deck and then went to the gym for a workout. We had big plans to work on our front and back yards after the gym as Mr. Sean did not rake up the leaves last fall. Since it was going to be such a nice day, I decided that I'd help him, ha. I know how that sounds but I love informing everyone that I�m responsible for the inside cleaning & he�s responsible for the outside cleaning, also known as, raking, mowing, shoveling, etc. Anyway, regardless of how much work it was, it was actually very enjoyable & I believe our workouts earlier in the day helped to give us the energy we needed to work several hours in the front and back yards. But let's be honest, with the weather being so nice it made me want to be outside all day. The dogs were lovin...
