Road Trip {3} : New Orleans

I have been seriously slacking when it comes to my daily blog posts.  But, I hope to get back to my routine soon.  School started and I've been trying to get back into my daily routine, clean and organize my apartment and get all my class stuff ready for the new semester (did I mention it's my last one? EEP! Scary!).  I cannot believe I am so late posting my pictures from my trip to New Orleans a few weeks ago, but at last here they are... I know the anticipation has been building since my last road trip post on August 13th (wow, I'm behind!).  So, without further ado... here are some pictures from our trip to New Orleans, Louisiana.

Road Trip {1} : Tupelo, Mississippi.

Last week we returned from our ten day road trip from Florida to Mississippi to Tennessee to Louisiana.  It was a lot of time in the car, but it was worth it!  On the way to Tupelo, Mississippi (my mom's hometown) we stopped in Montgomery, Alabama for the night and then headed to The Summit in Birmingham, Alabama for lunch and shopping.  We arrived in Tupelo in the late afternoon on Wednesday July 25th and then went to dinner with two of my mom's sisters and my Uncle Morgan.  We don't get to see each other too often, so it's always tons of fun when we are able to get together (remember this post).

One of my favorite parts about visiting Tupelo is all the yummy (and unhealthy) food that I get to eat while I'm there.  One of my favorite (unhealthy) stops in Tupelo is Connie's Fried Chicken for breakfast.  Of course, Mom and I went there first thing on Thursday morning.  The chicken biscuits and blueberry donuts are my favorite! Yummy!

On Saturday Gigi, Mom's youngest sister, and Uncle Randy came to town with their grandson Smith.  He was almost one year old and looks so different from the last time we saw him.  He is growing so fast!  He can walk now, it was so much fun to see him!

Isn't this the cutest picture you've ever seen?

On another note, my cousin Mac and his wife, Chaney, gave birth to a baby girl last Thursday named Maisie Sage!  I cannot wait to meet her.

Road Trip Playlist

This afternoon we're heading off on our 10+ day road trip from Florida to Tennessee.  We will be learning about our family history in Georgia, seeing the sites in NOLA and visiting family in North Mississippi.  I am looking forward to some good food and fun sightseeing.  Although our car has XM radio, I know that we could get board during our hours in the car so I put together a fun musical playlist for the trip.

summer road trip

Next week we're leaving on a road trip across the Southeastern United States.  We are going to start our trip in the small town of Lake Park, Georgia talking with a few ladies from the local historical society about our ancestry and we'll end our trip visiting some family friends in Florence, Alabama.  While I'm gone I hope to update y'all on my travels {and other fun}, but in the meantime I'll have a few guest bloggers {if you're interested in blogging for me shoot me an e-mail or leave me a comment} for y'all to check out.

Here is a sneak-peak of my trip.
