My scared azz was out there with the alligators, y'all. 🐊 Let me tell you... if you want to feel safe and bayou-informed, Ultimate Swamp Adventures is the place. (Near Westwago) I can only speak about our guide, Nick. He was fantastic! Choose a swamp boat (slow moving) or an air boat (fast). Whatever is your speed. A storm missed us, cool breezes were blowing, and wildlife cooperated. Oh, and the animals behaved, too.πŸ˜πŸ˜† In the last slide, you'll see a man almost lose his phone after we'd just been warned‼️ #SwampTour #OnTheBayou #AlligatorWhisperer #AdventureWriter #BlackTravelWriter
If you want to feel alive again, do something that excites you.

It can be an old hobby you've put aside or something you've wanted to try.

Having a camera in hand is the closest thing to magic for me. I can make time stand still! ✨️

Having a camera in hand is the closest thing to magic for me. I can make time stand still! ✨️ Over the holidays, my family gifted me the camera I've really wanted. That means the world to me. Now, to learn to use this wonderfully complex thing, lol. #SelfDiscovery #IgniteYourPassion #SonyAlpha #TakeThePicture #DoSomethingYouLove
Pickled pigs lips. 

Have you eaten them?  Would you try them? 

I grew up in Granville County, NC and I've eaten pork my whole life.  I know many people who eat pigs feet (I don't), but I've never heard of eating pigs lips until now. 🀷🏾‍♀️

Pic 1 is my favorite shot of the Hernando de Soto Bridge in Memphis. Also called the "M" Bridge. 

We were in the car heading to another activity, but this moment HAD TO be captured. πŸ“Έ

Pics 2 and 3 are views from our hotel window. MUST ha

At night, you can watch the bridge's LED light show. (last slide) Seeing the changing colors from our beds was very calming. (If the music stops in the video, you may be able to hear my youngest harassing me about her current fave k-pop idols πŸ˜‚ -- MomLife) #MBridge #HotelRoomViews #MemphisTennessee #BridgePhotos #RandomShots

I pray you've felt extra doses of appreciation today.πŸ’πŸ˜˜ #MothersDay #WeekendRecap #Shopping #FunAdventureFamily #FromSeries
Café Du Monde.

Serving the best beignets & coffee since 1862. And it's been a couple of decades since I've had them.

Talk about a full circle moment... 

I found a photo of myself sitting in this very place many years ago. A little girl

I found a photo of myself sitting in this very place many years ago. A little girl (family friend) was sitting with me. --> Last photo <-- I NEVER would've guessed I'd be back with my own daughters some day. And just as I expected, they couldn't get enough! πŸ˜‹ #FrenchQuarter #BeignetsAndCoffee #FrenchMarket #NewOrleans #TravelPhotos
Beale Street. 

Rich in music history.

Enjoy dinner at B.B. King's Blues Club while listening to sultry voices, guitars, and horns.
