This September, I went to New Orleans for some professional development. The conference was full of professional development, puppies, and so.much.food!! (There was literally a different kind of bread pudding at each snack break!)
After the conference was over, I was able to explore New Orleans a bit before I left town (and it got too hot in the afternoon!). I walked down to the French Quarter and of course, the famous Cafe Du Monde.
The next day, I left my lovely New Orleans-themed hotel on the river and got a rental car to drive to the Florida panhandle to visit my parents. On one of the hottest days of September 2022!
I stopped in Biloxi, MS to see their cute lighthouse and have an amazing crab cake lunch in an old filling station.
Later that afternoon, I took one final pit stop in Alabama to check out my first Buc-ees!
After thinking September in Florida would be mild, it was so.hot! Relaxing on the porch, at the pool, and eating Chick-fil-A helped with the heat though!
We made it to the zoo one day and had a blast! It was such a great time with Mom and Dad!!!
After Hurricane Ian avoided the panhandle, I spent the last day wading in the hammock and we had a ridiculously delicious dinner at the harbor.
