My boyfriend, Dave, enjoying coffee and beignets at "Cafe Du Monde". So good!
We visited a convent from the 1800's (I'm not Catholic, but am obsessed with Catholic art and saints). The convent was beautiful and the attached cathedral was stunning!
We had to visit a cemetary, of course. :) Here we are in front of Marie Laveau's tomb, the famous voodoo queen. This is the second most visited grave in our nation, right after Elvis and before JFK. Crazy, right?
Next we headed to Panama City Beach, Florida. No pics from there, the beach was lovely, but nothing worth documenting.
We then drove on to Savannah, Georgia! The historical homes and buildings are so cool, and all the courtyards and gardens make for a lush city. Here's the "Gingerbread House", which is a perfect example of the amazing, preserved architecture there.
We also visited another cathedral there (at this point, my boyfriend is starting to think I'm a closet Catholic)...
Next stop, another beach...Atlantic City, NJ! It rained the two days we were there, so no playing in the sand and sun. :( We did walk on the boardwalk with an umbrella, and Dave played some Poker. My only pic from there (looks like a postcard though, ha!)
On the way to NYC, we stopped in Smithville, NJ at "Underground", an awesome punk shop that is carrying my prints and postcards. I was so happy to get to meet Mike and Lucy, the owners. Dave and I also purchased some fab NJ t-shirts there. :)
We hopped the ferry from the NJ shore into Manhattan...loved it, the pics say it all!
Last, but not least, we ended up in Salem, MA. Yes, I am morbidly fascinated with the witch trials, ghosts, and magic that are part of this historic city. We did every witch tour they offered (even a pirate one). We also went to the "House of the Seven Gables" Mansion and visited Nathaniel Hawthorne's house. Here's a pic of Dave and I in the gardens at the mansion...
And a final pic of a very final resting place...
