Heraklion
We only stayed in Heraklion one night - this is the largest city and is where the airport is that we flew into. We barely saw any of it because most of our time was spent Westward, however I think it's worth checking out.

NEW ORLEANS
Travel // Louisiana
We went to New Orleans after our wedding as a little "mini-moon" getaway. We enjoyed lots of walking around beautiful neighborhoods and eating delicious food. While spent some time walking around the French Quarter, it was by far our least favorite part of the city. We much preferred strolling the parks, antique shops, and beautiful streets in the Garden District.
