Easter Weekend In Louisiana

The Mr. and I spent Easter in Louisiana with his Grandparents and the rest of his family and we had an absolute blast. In addition to admiring the gorgeous architecture and eating everything in sight in downtown New Orleans, I got to see where the Mr. and his siblings spent their summers as kids, Camp Chickamaw. It was so fun to have the camp to ourselves for the day, the new owners are still in the family and were kind enough to let us explore and picnic all afternoon. It was nice getting to know more of the Mr's ginormous extended family, and spend time with his Grandparents. In my opinion Easter break should not be limited only to those in elementary school, I want an Easter/Spring Break every year.

Haunted schmaunted... I'd live in any of these pads in a heart beat! Who else but Disney could make a haunted house so appealing??

White Collar

Don't judge, but I love this show. Growing up I used to watch Matlock and Murder She Wrote with Grandma Lizzie so I'm a sucker for mystery slash law and order type sitcoms. Check out this NYC pad and tell me you wouldn't watch it just for the scenery ... the good looking cast doesn't hurt either.

Highclere Castle

A few client's of mine mentioned to me ages ago that I should start watching Downton Abbey, if not for the story line but for the interior design. I don't know what the hell is wrong with me and why I didn't listen to them until recently, but I'm officially obsessed! The house, the grounds, the interior, and the clothes! A-ma-zing. I just finished watching the season finale of the second season and I don't know what I am going to do with myself until January when the show returns for season three. Highclere Castle is breathtaking. I can't imagine what the monthly maintenance costs would be on a property like that, but all the more reason to rent the place out for filming. The Earl and Countess of Carnarvon not only let Downton Abbey film at the estate, but they rent out parts of the Castle for weddings. Could you imagine getting married here, or better yet, living here?! 

PS Why can't more shows be as entertaining as this?

Back From The Big Apple

Mom and I are back from a short trip to New York City. I don't know what I loved more, the beautiful New York City architecture, the great vendors at the Gift Show, seeing one of my best girlfriends who lives in the city, or spending time with my Mama. I'm back to work for a day then the Mr. and I are headed to Colorado with his parents and grandparents. I am so excited for our vacation out West, but I'm hoping this will be my last get away for a while. Every time I leave Hank grows 2 inches!
