A New Orleans Year

I just got back from a spectacular vacation! I celebrated New Years in New Orleans- and let me tell you this was the perfect time to go!  It was also the sugar bowl, and my favorite team was playing. Everywhere I looked, I saw droves of Michigan fans in Blue gear. I felt like I was in a warm Ann Arbor. The atmosphere was incredible- and new years: unforgettable

The French Quarter is the place to be for New Years! I was lost with all the buzz happening around me, so I followed the crowd, and to the perfect place! I ended up right near the Jax Brewery, where the Fleur dropped at midnight followed by fireworks from the river on the other side. It was the most spectacular firework I have ever seen. A great way to ring in 2012- the biggest year of my life. It's the year I turn 18, vote, graduate, choose a college, go to college, lose those damn driving restrictions and so many other things that are bound to happen but not guaranteed.


And here's the best part of the vacation- a FREE impromptu Kelly Clarkson concert that unleashed the 13 year old girl inside me surrounded by Michigan fans and a cranky single smoking douchebag.  The concert reminded me how much I love Kelly Clarkson- and my tweets landed me on the allstate fan fest MEGATRON twice! so follow me @jax223. My tweets are fun and I am pretty good at constantly updating my loyal followers daily. That was an amazing night followed by an amazing win- that I only could watch on tv because my dad didn't want to scalp tickets. oh well- amazing vacation!

Now, everyone go visit NOLA- get some beignets at Cafe Dumond and hang out on Decatur street and Magazine street- skip the over-hyped  Bourbon street. It didn't impress me.
