Tales of Traveling Tote #15 Getaway to Pensacola & New Orleans

Our trip begins with our good friends who have a second home in Pensacola, Florida. Their  home sits beautifully on the bayou.



Our friends hosted a dinner for is and a few other couples.  Fish was the entree for the evening.  Our host suggested Paul and I visit  the local fish market.


Here's the local fish market in Pensacola.  You can find almost any seafood here.  Notice the black and white check.
Miss Lola's style fits right in with the fish market.


This surfer dude was way too cute to pass up a photo op with Miss Lola.

Miss Lola insisted on a photo with Elvis.  Thank you very much!

My husband took a photo of me trying out a tiara at the LolaNola store.

These top photos were me dancing in the streets with the musicians.
I surprised my hubby and friends by jumping out there with Miss Lola and started dancing......

  3. I am still chuckling from Miss Lola showing her rack for some beads. I always wonder where someone like you, whose home is a resort in itself, goes on vacation. Love you in a tiara. What a gorgeous spot the Florida house has. I will be dreaming about that creole bread pudding for the next week. Have a wonderful weekend, dear Linda.

  21. Happy you enjoyed your trip to New Orleans. I loved seeing all your photos! Trip is from NO, and we lived on St. Charles Avenue (where the streetcars run in the neutral ground) when we were first married. We visit often because his SIL still lives there.

    Thanks for being such a great blog friend and helper. You are so kind, and I'm so happy you're a part of this group!
