Hey everyone! Washington DC is a must see for your bucket list. For a country that doesn't have an extensive amount of history like us, I sure saw a lot of it here! We did an illumination tour of all the monuments on our first night.. So we saw the White House, Lincoln building, World War 2 memorial and Vietnam War memorial- all was very moving and beautiful at night! We didn't spot Obama, but we did stand on the exact spot Martin Luther King did his 'I have a dr...

Hey! So since i last blogged we've actually done a lot of travelling, hence why I haven't updated much! But I do have some cool stories to share... After Memphis we drove a long 8 hours to Nashville and stayed in a hostel with all 9 of us girls in an 8 bed room (I got the short straw & topped and tailed lol) but it was only for a short sleep as we headed out to test the nightlife of Nashville! After dinner at Hardrock Cafe we decided we needed to fit in with...

We had a gander at the French market, which is the oldest market in America (I believe that's what he said anyways) & then revisited Bourbon Street in the day light. Tonight we went on a majestic river ride on the Mississippi River. It is the last authentic steamboat on the river,...

Hey all! I'm having the time of my life & seeing the most out of this world sights! After a long journey to New Orleans we stopped off to do an alligator swamp tour, which was such a thrilling experience! We saw so many including a 12ft one.. Gulp! They jump up the side of the boat to catch the marshmallows and hot dogs we had to feed them, it was terrifying to say the least! Throughout the tour you could see lake houses that were still ruined from hurricane ...
