Dear Reader:

After getting back from an intense trip to New Orleans, we decided to get in touch with our inner cajun. So we thought...what do cajuns do best? After racking our brains for the majority of the morning, we came up with a list.

1. Drink Beer: So we shotgunned beers. I know what you're thinking, "man these guys really know how to throw down." And I would have to say...you are correct.

2. Eat Po-Boys: So she ate a shrimp po-boy. She was so excited she couldn't even wait for me to take the picture before she ate. What can I say...not a lot.

3. Act a Fool: Theres not a lot to say about this.

4. Crawfish: C'mon these little mud bugs are the staple of Cajun cuisine. Trust me if you never had these messy little critters, you should definitely do yourself a favor and make it happen for yourself. After the tender crawfish meat hits your palate and the spicy aroma takes your sense for a cruise around the bayou, you'll thank me. My mouth started to water as I wrote...kinda embarrassing.

5. Finally...they got a whole lot of L.O.V.E:

In 1776, a simple sheet of paper was adopted by 56 rebels and shortly after a nation. Here I stood in Independence Hall, ground zero of the birth of our United States of America. Just thinking about that history humbles you a bit. Granted whatever happened on that summer day, we won't know that difference either way. However to combat that perplexing paradigm, it was a Webster Word of the Day, here are some pictures of Philly.

These are pictures of Independence Hall and the surrounding park. This area of downtown Philadelphia is like walk back in time. Narrow streets and red brick homes covered with the sun-kissed tint of cherry blossoms line the downtown area. You don't want to even drive around this historic haven. It was a joy to walk around because you're eyes are constantly going from one site to another. But my favorite...the tulips!! No homo...

Another Good Day...

Ok so this trip was back in March but I'll post it now, since quite frankly...I didn't have a blog back then. So around mid March I went up north to go to an interview at Pennsylvania School of Optometry. Along the way I stopped in Laurel, MD to visit my brother and his family. OK mainly it was to see my little turtle...disclaimer: Not a real turtle, his name is Timothy.

While I was in The District, being the adventurous tourist that I am, I decided to go on a trek across our nation's capital. First things first, every time I go to a foreign city I make sure to send a postcard to Elaina, she collects them...weird I know. And where else to send from than the most LEGIT post office in the United States.

The level of LEGITNESS was very high for this building, being that it is the third tallest building in D.C. The cool thing is you can walk all the way to the top of the 315 ft. tower.

The climb was the only bad thing about it. But man...the view was worth it.

Furthermore since my brother works in Alexandria, MD for the National Patent Office, I decided to check out where he does the business...and this business being actually work. Its pretty cool some of the stuff that goes through this building, anything from Facebook codes to the next million dollar idea. But right across the street was the George Washington Masonic Museum. Being a Sigma Chi, I thought it suitable for me to check out one of the oldest Fraternities.

Another Good Day...
