Have any of you ever had beignets? 

As soon as I found out that we were heading to Louisiana, this was on the top of my list of food that I wanted to try while in the Bayou.

We went to this adorable little coffee shop called the "Coffee Call" just for the Beignets. And goodness gracious! They were amazing!

Alyson and I got an order of Beignet Fingers because they were easier to share than the traditional style. They were so incredible and so messy!

If you are ever in Baton Rouge, Louisiana; The Coffee Call and their Beignets are a stop you should really make! The shop is so cute and the food is yummy and affordable! I'm definitely a fan!

The entire reasons we went to Louisiana was because Akilah won a sweepstakes to the Bayou Country Music Fest! Thanks again Budweiser! You gave us a great trip!

There were so many amazing acts. We really only caught four of them though. We just couldn't bring ourselves to sit in that awful heat for the earlier acts. Sorry guys.

I know what you're thinking. We live in Vegas. Heat should be something we are used to.

Well, we can handle heat, yes. But we definitely don't know how to handle humidity. 

So we only went to the later, big time shows.

The length of my hair is blowing me away. I know that it's long... but holy luscious locks, Batman! 

 Tim McGraw was definitely the best of all of the concerts in my opinion. He is so good looking and such a great entertainer.

Sugarland and Kenny Chesney were also amazing, but Tim McGraw still won. 

Thanks again for the tickets Budweiser and thanks to Akilah for inviting me along! You're the best!

New Orleans was such an interesting city. We only spent a few really late hours in the French Quarter our first night in Louisiana, but it was still incredible how much history and personality this place has.

We walked down Bourbon Street while we were in the French Quarter. It's like the Las Vegas Strip of the south. But without the gambling and a bit more chaos.

The entire area was so fun to explore. The buildings were old and lovely. I really would have loved to see it all in the daylight. The history that all of these buildings had was so neat to see!

I spent the last four days in good ol' Louisiana!

I have so many pictures and stories to tell! But I decided it would be better to break it all up rather than bombard you with an endless stream of photos!

So be sure to keep coming back throughout the week! I'll have a bunch of posts for you!

My sister's friend Akilah won a sweepstakes to Baton Rouge for the weekend. This included air-fair, hotels and most importantly, tickets to the Bayou Country Music Fest! (More on that later.) She invited Alyson, her friend Kisha and obviously, me! I was pretty stoked!

The trip started out with two different planes. I hate planes. Flying is not fun.

The actually up in the air part isn't so bad. It's the getting up there and getting down from there that freaks me out.

And I had to do it twice in one day.

Gag.

So, after a whole lot of flying, we were all in desperate need of a pick me up when we landed in Baton Rouge.

We hopped in our rental car and drove to New Orleans for some of the best ice cream ever from the Creole Creamery!

One problem. The shop closed at 11. It was 10 and we were just over an hour away from New Orleans.

I feared for my life on that drive.

But we pulled in with four minutes to spare.

And can I just tell you... That Cookie Monster ice cream was amazing! 

I'd fly on two planes and take a death cab just to have some more of that ice cream.

Yup. I would.

More stories to come soon!
