Take a look inside the Saenger with me. It's wonderful, isn't it?

Katie & I with our composer, Glen Ballard, who came to visit us in New Orleans! Such a great man, so glad to meet him.

Let's take a walk down Bourbon St., shall we? Pictured L-R: Jake, Jack, Robby, Susan, and the back of Tony's head. #neonlights #jazzmusic

Grabbin' some pizza and hurricanes... the drink, not the storm. ;) Pictured L-R: Jack, Michael, Sunny, and Tony.

A fire fountain... a fountain fire... either way, it's pretty cool.

Sunny came to visit us on Bourbon St.

He might be the most fashionable dog I've ever seen.

Soup, shrimp, and shenanigans with Fernando and Brandon at the Gumbo Shop.

Ah yes... the Creole Combination Platter. Featuring Shrimp Creole, Jambalaya, and Red Beans & Rice. #cajun

A gothic church overlooks Jackson Square in the French Quarter. I find it beauteous, with a hint of spooky.

Cafe Du Monde, home to beignets, incredible french pastries made from deep fried choux paste. Open. All. Night. Long. #musteat

Chompin' on 1 of 3 beignets... Yeah, they serve them in threes. It's miraculous!

We ventured over to Frenchmen Street for some real, old-fashioned New Orleans music. This band described themselves as Delta Blues. Instruments include a guitar, violin, tuba, washboard, and piano. #onlyinnawlins

A gentleman in the club asked Maria to dance. It was pretty spectacular and altogether impressive. #swingdance

A group of us stopped over at Marie Laveau's House of Voodoo. Sorry folks, no cameras aloud inside... too spooky, too strange. #areYOUabeliever

The "American Horror Story" gang wreaking havoc outside of Marie Laveau's House of Voodoo. #AHSday #Nawlins

Some street art in an alleyway of NOLA (that's New Orleans Lousiana, for those of you who weren't 100% sure).

Oda Mae! Is that you!? The show's not 'til later tonight!

Some passersby out for a casual mule & carriage stroll. #fancy

We're about to go on an air boat adventure through the swamp! #hooray #raisetheroof! :p

Sunny, Andrea, and I have our noise-cancelling ear muffs on and are ready to go!

You are now entering the swamp... please keep all hands and feet inside the boat at all times.

This is some pretty neat moss that I have no desire to get any closer to. It's actually where bed bugs first came from. #funfact

Yep! That's a real, bona fide alligator ladies & gentlemen!

Robby is enjoying a beignet in our dressing room prior to the show. #warmups

Finished the trip with a Louisianan Omelet (Shrimp & Pepper Jack Cheese), Grits, and a well-deserved Mimosa following our 80th performance! Next stop is home to MN for Thanksgiving break.

A closer look at my gourmet breakfast.

My brother's house in MinneSNOWota is all decked out for the holidays! #homesweethome

Truthfully, nothing beats a hearty, home cooked meal. #homeiswherethegoodfoodis

Time to watch some "Monsters University" with my adorable niece, Lilli! Feels great to be home for a little while. See ya back on the road!
