New Orleans, Day 3

Our last day! We have to make the most of it. Do everything we didn't have a chance to do before. Everything must get done today!

And so we started out a bit late, slow at getting up and basically walking breezily around taking in the fact that we had so much left to do and only one more day to get it done.

During the month of August, New Orleans was doing this restaurant special offer all around town. Tons of prix fixe menus and discounts. Because of that we ended up at a restaurant that would have been a bit out of our price range but instead fit in perfectly.

NOLA Day 2

The second day on our trip we decided to be touristy and go on a swamp tour. The place we had to drive to was about 30 minutes away but since it took so long to get around all the construction and chaos the first day we decided to give ourselves enough time for getting lost/stuck in traffic/and random traveling. Needless to say, with all my fore planning we arrived...30 minutes before we had to be there. 

Nawlins Day 1

At the end of August, Robert and I took a vacation to New Orleans.

It was amazing. Neither one of us had ever been so it was fun to be able to experience it together.

Arlington Vacation: Day 2

This is Day 2; to read Day 1 go here.


On our second day in Arlington my mother (rudely) awoke me so that I could eat some free breakfast before we trekked around the city. Shuffling out of the hotel room and into the lobby in whatever clothes I happened to put on I grabbed coffee and started to pig out on cereal, bagels, and muffins. Then, I felt better.

Since we had spent the day before in Dallas we decided to visit Fort Worth this time. We parked downtown and walked around. Compared to Dallas's downtown, (and even San Antonio's) Fort Worth's downtown looked dead. The only people walking around besides us were people who worked in the office buildings.

Our first stop was Fire Station # 1. A cute, small museum that is completely open to the public for free and is self guided. The museum emphasizes the history of Fort Worth.

Arlington Vacation: Day 1

This week my family (Dad, Mom, and brother) and I went on our traditional family vacation. 

For three years now we have been going to Arlington to visit and ride all the roller coasters at Six Flags Over Texas. But because this is Texas and it's always like 1000 degrees outside we try to find other cooler things to do. And by cooler I mean somewhere with AC.

This year we decided to actually travel to downtown Dallas and see what there was to do. The first thing we ended up doing was visiting the Dallas Holocaust Museum. The museum was very sad with all the articles, artifacts, and pictures around.

Reminds me of The Boy in the Stripes Pajamas. 

Bitchin' About: Technology

For all of you (har de har har) who read this blog and are wondering where I've been...I'll tell you.

I've been trying to work on some freelance video editing. But if you don't know sometimes technology is more of a hindrance than a blessing.
