 Good morning guys. Welcome to New Orleans day one. I'm so excited. We're gonna be exploring today with mothers And first we're gonna start off with a brunch. Yes. I am doing a travel diary I really want to work on my videography skills and I will see what I get also Valerie's gonna be my photographer since my IG boyfriend isn't here and Yeah, so let's get exploring. So we are actually walking to our brunch I guess everything here is pretty much in walking distance kind of like New York. So that's what we're doing right now I got some clips of the surrounding area for the video diary. I don't know guys It's really hard to like jumble everything and I still have to update my Instagram story So if you're not following me on Instagram, make sure you're following me at Alex Jane underscore So you guys don't miss out on any details on the champ. Make sure you follow me on Instagram We are on our way to brunch like I just said it's so nice here. It's very quiet It's probably quieter because Marty God just ended guys. I'm sorry for my shakiness, but look, there's a huge urban outfitters How cool is that? I'm like really shaky. I'm sorry, but I had to zoom in so you guys could see the big urban outfitters So come into this little bakery shop, and I'm trying at the original creamy pralines For the first time and this is what they look like he gave us a little sample so they make pralines in here I don't really know what this shop is called. They make those pralines. They're so good. They're so creamy. Oh my gosh So good they have this whole wall I was getting some shots for the video diary But they have this whole wall and then they have the actual place they make it up at the front there So as you can see right there, they're making them how fun So we are eating at court of two sisters, so we're eating at this place called the court of two sisters Look at how cute they are. Anyway, this is a brunch. It's pretty neat in here. I'll show you guys around It's pretty cool. Oh There's an outside location. Oh, we're eating outside. I guess you're not gonna believe how cute this is look This is where we're having our brunch. It's outside on this little patio area And then there's everybody eating. This is awkward. Okay, all right So this is where we're eating and it's so Instagram worthy like I don't even know where to begin honestly But this is a little courtyard area guys. There is a wishing well over there. Look a wishing well How cool is that? This is just insane Yeah Very cool. Here's a close-up view of the wishing well look how cute this is Look at this guys. This is the buffet. Look how huge All right, I'll show you guys what I end up getting it's probably gonna be something plain because I'm Alex Okay, so I got a salad some rice and shrimp with some bread Valer got shrimp and cheese over there And sure you got a whole array of things Yeah So I don't think I shared with you guys, but we got mimosas here. They are shares already done with hers little Very cool with the champagne So these are the desserts I'm trying I'm trying the king cake. This is a brownie and then this is like a chocolate cake So let you know which one's my favorite sherry says the king cake is just not that good Yeah, the verdict is the king cake is trying to be a cinnamon roll But it's just not a cinnamon roll and the rest of the stuff was really good So a plus except for the king cake. It's a cinnamon roll want to be okay So I don't really know where we are right now But this is a building that's very Instagram worthy and I was looking on Pinterest and Instagram of like where to take good Instagram photos and everyone who posted a photo always had their photo here in New Orleans, so I got some I'm hoping they turned out good Valerie over here took them. She's my photographer and I almost got ran over by a horse Yeah, so basically I was like standing like right in the middle here doing my Instagram photo and then she was like Oh watch out a horse It was so funny, but anyway look at how crazy and saying this is that's an ultimate ring light right there ultimate ring light and now we are just walking on a bourbon streets Just hanging out here Exploring we went into this video shop and then another store, but like there was no photos allowed Which I don't know some people are just kind of personal about that So I didn't get any footage in there But I did want to document that I went into two other shops and one was like a voodoo one Which was really interesting. Okay, so we just got back to the room and my parents are kind of freshening up We kind of just walked around a little bit more and looked at shops My shaman sister Katie is on her way up and this is the main reason why we are here We used to always have a shaman reunion, which all of the girls that I was adopted with Basically nine girls were adopted at an orphanage and I really been wanting to make a video with them So maybe if we have time like I can do the sister tag or something Unfortunately my shaman sister Emily the one you guys have already seen in my videos will not be here sadly Cuz she has to work in everything, but I have nine or eight others sherry always knows this I don't have seven others. I have seven other Nine others, okay, so some of the girls won't be here, but you'll get to see a handful We used to always have a reunion and we stopped after we graduated and this is our first one in five years So it's gonna be really cool to document it I want to show you guys Valerie's video camera because she vlogged before it was cool, which is surprising So Valerie used to film all of these trips that we go on with the families and everything But I'm kind of taking over some of the job I encouraged Valerie to still do it because it's really her thing and to match all the other years But it's gonna be really cool because like now I'm videoing it and I'm gonna post on YouTube and everything So let me go ahead and show you guys Valerie's camera. Look at this old video camera guys It is a Sony and it has a little flip out screen here. I have no idea how to work this This is like a dinosaur. I'm doing this with one hand. So this is very interesting Anyway, this is what it looks like. It has a flip out viewfinder. I don't know if oh my gosh It's so advanced. It actually does flip out Man mother was high-tech in the days Valerie's been using this for I don't know how long a long long time But this is a video camera and she has like film and it's actual film guys. It's not digital It's actual film It's an actual cassette that fits in here. So talk about a throwback We're going into a suite now. Look at how fancy Oh I totally got that wait, are we allowed to go in Oh my gosh, look how fancy this is Hey This is so fancy. Oh my goodness This is insane Wait, so the Bellman just like gave you all of this Wow Or Sherry, you know what we can do we can put them on people and then demand a tip we could put them on people and demand a tip Okay, so we've come to this place for appetizers. I got a margarita I'm not very hungry, but we got like mozzarella sticks nachos and Something over there. It's what we're up to right now. We're eating at mothers now It's called mothers and this is kind of like in New York where we had to stand out here and wait because I don't Think they take reservations. So Wendy if you're watching this vlog. Oh, she just hit the vlog camera We are standing out here waiting luckily. There's no one singing songs, but I have not formally introduced.

There's a huge line All right, so we're here and here's the line where they make what you want, which is pretty cool I hope to get some better shots when we get up there, but I just wanted to show a little overview of the restaurant So here is the line. It's kind of like a subway. I don't know if I'm making any sense and I guess we just order Somewhere up there vlog inception Sherry Vlog inception Since Valerie's being all correct and everything this is a very historical place in New Orleans So I just wanted to throw that in the vlog.
