What a wonderful and busy summer this has been! My best friend Kim, along with my first cousins Joyce and Aretha - "aka" Sweet Thing" spent a wonderful 4 days in New Orleans in July! From sight-seeing to seminars to eating delicious Cajun cuisine we had a blast!
The girls and I enjoyed a round of activities--including the highlight of the trip for me, seeing Mary J Blige in concert at the Essence Festival!
We dined at the highly rated Oceana Restaurant at 739 Conti Street and we were in culinary heaven. We each ordered different entrees so that we could all savor a bit of New Orleans delights.
Kim, ordered Alligator, Oyster Bites and Eggplant Zucchini, Sweet Thing ordered Blackened Duck, I had fried Oysters and Joyce ordered the most delicious and moist Crab Cakes I have ever tasted! For dessert, Joyce ordered Banana Foster Ice Cream cheesecake--it truly was to die for--yep, culinary heaven.
We all had a great time traveling to and from the Super Dome, the Convention Center on on Bourbon Street! We laughed, ate, cried and had a great time as only women can do!
Kim, Sweet Thing and Joyce - are planning a wonderful trip next year to a new destination! I can't wait to hear all about their magical trip!
