CT Lady in LA

My name is Sam and this started out as my blog about moving from Norwalk, Connecticut to New Orleans, Louisiana. I just received my Masters in Arts Administration and have decided to embark on a cross-country road trip with my boyfriend. So, the focus of my blog is shifting a bit but we will still go on lots of adventures and will share them here with you. We're visiting 19 National Parks and National Monuments as we drive from Louisiana to California to North Carolina to Connecticut.

My boyfriend and I embarked on a cross-country road trip this morning. We’re spending the summer traveling to 19 National Parks and National Monuments. We’ll stop at a few museums, great eateries, beaches, and cities along the way. Join us on our adventure by following my other blog CTladyinLA on Tumblr, on Instagram: @soulsearchingsoulmates and @penguin1_4sam

Blue oak BBQ is now walking distance from where I live. Sooo delicious. Melt in your mouth brisket, flavorful BBQ beans and heavenly garlic mac n cheese.

I call this one "Cat with Art" 😂 A woman in our neighborhood makes cool sculptures that she has strewn about her yard

Rainy first day of April in NOLA. April showers bring May flowers!

I had no idea people did Easter photo shoots with real rabbits until I saw it happening at Long Vue. Oh course I snapped a photo of the little cuties and saved it for this very day. Hoppy Easter!

We got invited to our landlords Easter crawfish boil today. (He lives above us) We heard lots of funny stories and ate so much. I've said it before and I'll say it again but we got so lucky with this place. Feeling so thankful :)

"When it rains, it pours" - I hear the live oaks love this though 😎

It's a rainy day here in New Orleans so I decided to walk over to the New Orleans Museum of Art to catch Art in Bloom. So pretty and the galleries smelled amazing!
