Why I love Christmas in the French Quarter: December is the city's slow time. You can get some great deals on hotels even if the Saints have a home game on Sundays. The pace is slower, the people less stressed, and the Quarter is gorgeous decked out in Christmas lights. As this picture by AreteStock shows, there's a tranquility to the city that it doesn't have the rest of the year.
I'm trying to talk DH into staying in New Orleans for the entire month of December once GK is in college. I've even picked out St. Philip French Quarter Apartments. I'm sure I can get all kinds of inspiration here!
Wow, a month. Sounds like fun.
ReplyDeleteOne of the joys of both of us having portable jobs! But DH is already whining about how he needs a car when everything is within walking distance, including the grocery and laundromat, and street parking is severely limited. I may take a girlfriend with me instead. :-)
ReplyDeleteLaundry mat, I don't miss that.
