Janie, So glad you are back home, and sounds like you had a great time! I will "stay tuned" for more of your adventures! The buildings are beautiful! xo Robin
Love the pictures and it sounds like you had a wonderful time! I have been to New Orleans but it has been many years. I would love to go back perhaps this year! Have a blessed evening and get some rest. It is always fun to get away but really nice to come back home!
Hello Jane, I can't wait to see the rest of your pictures! I have so many relatives in New Orleans I have never even met... at least I can see where they live through your photos! I am sure the food was just the yummiest! xoxo Julie Marie
We spent our honeymoon at the Hotel Monteleone-how fun to see that picture. My favorite memories from New Orleans always include food. I'm glad you had a good time.
So neat to see your pictures. I was there a few years ago. It was such a fun, and interesting place. Glad you are home Janie! Debbie@houseatthelake xxxooo
I LOVE New Orleans...and the pics and mention of the food is so exciting to me! Honestly, the people and cuisine of Louisiana remind me of some of my favorite trips through the state. Thanks so much for sharing!
Glad you had a great time and I look forward to more pictures, etc.
Sounds like you really had a great time, Janie. I don't think it is possible to have it any other way in New Orleans. I love the food there too. And it was so good to see you both. I still have guests so I haven't been blogging much but will post our pictures soon. Get some rest!..Christine
Welcome home! Someday! Someday I wil get there. We were scheduled to go with our best friends to celebrate both of our 25th wedding anniversaries. And then a few weeks before the trip - Katrina. Someday . . . this year we celebrate our 30th . . . :) Hugs. Karen
I am so happy you had a lovely trip and got to enjoy the company of Christine and her husband. Post more pictures, soon! I've never been to New Orleans before. Or anywhere else in the south except Atlanta for the accessory market ages and ages ago. And that trip, I spent all my time inside looking for mdse. for the store. xo Sue
Yah!! Your Back! Hey Janie, I can't wait to hear all about it!! The pics look so charming!! You know I lived in New Orleans for a short time. I was a toddler, so of course I don't remember. Can't wait to see more !!!! Hugs, Cindy
NOLA is a dream and so glad you loved it! I visited for the first time the April before Katrina hit and would love to go back. My sister-in-law's family is from Baton Rouge, so the door is always open for a visit! Looking forward to hearing more about your adventures, especially what you thought of Natchez! Get some rest and then get writing, girl! xx Suzanne
It is amazing how this city has come back to life after all it went through. It is a place where you can have fun most anytime. I do believe you enjoyed your trip.
Lovely photos! New Orleans is one of my favorite cities. While I lived in Houston, I worked for a company based in New Orleans and their office was in the French Quarter. It was always so much fun to visit. Glad to hear that you had a great trip!!
I've never been to New Orleans, but have plans on visiting now. My sister and BIL just moved to southern MS. not not too far from New Orleans. So, we hope to get there very soon. Your pics are wonderful! Can't wait to hear more about your trip. Glad you are back safe and sound.
Hi Jane, How I do envy you. I luv New Orleans I havent been there since Katrina. It is a magical city and the old architure is beautiful. And I cant forget the food. We were there for 2 weeks and I did not eat one hamburger when we were there. I miss her so much. Thank's for bring me back many good memories of a beautiful city.........Julian
Loved taking your trip with you, Janie! I've never been to New Orleans, but the architecture looks beautiful! I agree that B&B's are the ONLY way to go when traveling. You receive much more personal attention, the homes are always so graceful and historical, and the owners so sweet.
You have really captured the flavor of Bourbon Street and the french section of New Orleans. Looks like you had a wonderful time. It's been a long time since I was there, maybe someday I can return.
Welcome back sweetie.... Sounds like a good time was had by all! Was there right after Katrina...hoping things are coming together down there. xoxo~Kathy @ Sweet Up-North Mornings...
I'm so glad you had a great time and are safely home. I was wondering a few days ago where you were. I forgot about your trip. I think I'm losing my mind some days! Brenda
Hi Jane, Welcome home...I'm glad you had a really nice trip, can't wait to see all your posts from New Orleans! Thank you for visiting and leaving your sweet comment on my Patriotic Door Wreath! I really enjoyed designing this wreath, love the red, white and blue! Hugz, Kim
It sounds like your time in New Orleans was just fab. I haven't been there for years but have very fond memories of the city. I think it would be FUN to do a girls trip there. Humm.....
Wonderful photos!! New Orleans is on my list of places to visit. From all the pictures and everything I have read about the city and it's history, I know I will enjoy it. I can't wait to see more, Thanks for sharing and for stopping by. Sandy
New Orleans, Wow! Great pictures, I've enjoyed looking visiting your blog, such a lot of interesting stuff. Thanks for looking at my Outdoor Wednesday, Kathleen.
Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving a comment about my country tablescape. I also like your post on New Orleans, how fun! Thanks again for stopping by, it's fun, isn't it? Sandi
Oh, Janie... the Monteleone! This makes me want to book a room and spend a week in NOLA! I miss that part of the country. So beautiful and such GREAT food!

[Image]Just a short post since arriving back from our trip to New Orleans. What a great time we had. My legs still hurt from all of the walking we did but it was well worth it. New Orleans is a beautiful city and has something for everyone. I think The Husband would agree, the wonderful cuisine was at the top of our list of favorites. I keep a little restaurant journal with our receipts and what we had to eat and it is bulging. More on that in another post. [Image]These are just some random pictures I took out first night in town. I tried to carry a smaller purse so I didn't always have my camera with me. These are pictures we took in the French Quarter. I really loved the outdoor cafes. [Image]The weather was very warm, about 90 degrees everyday and very humid. Somehow you just forget about it when you are having fun. [Image]It rained a lot while we were there. Mostly at night, thank goodness. We bought umbrellas and didn't let it stop us. [Image]The Husband liked this sign. I have a lot more to post about but we arrived home at 9:00 a.m. after getting up at 4:00 to catch our flight and I feel like I am sleepwalking. I want to tell you all about the B & B we stayed at and the lovely people we met. I want to tell you about our trip to Natchez, Ms., and visiting with Christine and her husband. And of course we took a few tours off the beaten path, so to speak, so stay tuned!
I am joining Susan at A Southern Daydreamer for Outdoor Wednesday. Thanks always, Susan, for hosting.

Hi Janie dear!
