New Orleans Anniversary Trip // Day 3 - Part 1 // January 2015

Hi everyone, I hope that June is treating you well so far!

Let's get back to NOLA.

On the third day of our anniversary trip (Day 1 & Day 2) we grabbed a quick breakfast at Starbucks before riding the street car for the first time. We took it out to the New Orleans Museum of Art (NOMA), and had a blast looking at a new-to-us art museum. Ok, me a little more than KC.. .but he is a trooper and definitely had a good time as well.




























Breakfast: A quick Starbucks run.

Lunch: Spinach Berry Salad and Basil Lemonade for me, BBQ Chicken Slider and Potato Soup for KC - all at Cafe NOMA.

Out and About: Riding the Street Car was really fun, we got to see a whole different part of the city that way! We walked through the entire museum and then some... see part 2 post coming soon!

Weather: warm and sunny

Lots Of: ... art ... 

Tried: Basil Lemonade and Riding in a Street Car.

Surprise: How big the museum was! Also, that it had a collection of Japanese Snuff Bottles just like the Seattle Asian Art Museum did! 

Love of the Day: The Odalisque portrait. The painting with the girl in the pink dress and purple head scarf. So beautiful. Also, the Oceanic section, I loved seeing art from Oceana, the turquoise walls were a great touch.

Wearing: Skinnies, Burgundy Tee, Thrifted Floral Scarf, Green Jacket, Red Cross Body Bag, and Flats.

Tried Very Hard To: Find souvenirs for our families and friends at the museum. Didn't have the best luck.

I highly recommend visiting this gorgeous museum, and their cafe!
