A week in NOLA (with my mother!)
I’m taking my mother, Candi (67) to jazz fest! She always spoke about her first time at jazz fest- I decided when I made enough money, I’d take her and we’d go all out!
I’m leaving plenty of time for us to explore and walk around. Gardens and parks are very loved!
She’s pretty fit, so if anyone could recommend a great yoga place, that would be amazing. She loves coffee. Usually is vegetarian (but decided to suspend that for this trip! Fish-a-tarian!)-any crazy good veggie spots? She doesn’t drink much, but I wanted her to experience some classic NOLA drinks. She usually does not partake in the 🍃 but says she would be interested in a little bit (if possible)! She isn’t a huge shopper, but likes to pick up some local artistry.
She loves music. That’s why we’re here!
