Your outfit is perfect, by the way! I too would love to visit the USA one day and try all the crazy foods.

It's so bad in/out of Mexico that they stop and check every other car. My brothers were in Tijuana Mexico visiting and got checked. They were pulled into secondary check and a drug dog looked through the truck. They didn't have anything but since it was to young men in a newer truck they had to check.<br /><br />Your outfit is marvelous! You did a great job with your hair too! I'm glad you got to shop and get food you can enjoy. I took for granted all the awesome shopping both clothes and grocery that I grew up with in Southern California. Now I have to settle with buying things at Wal-Mart.Mariela Santillanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05293755332845325555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-71460684567381971392013-04-11T12:27:28.529-07:002013-04-11T12:27:28.529-07:00Thank you very much, dear Melanie.

That has always, always been one of the places I'd more love seeing in the country, too. The rich, storied, fascinating history of the city, coupled with the architecture, cuisine and incredible music appeals to me immensely. Here's to the hope that we both get to set foot in The Big Easy one day! :)<br /><br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-55317755483964754212013-04-11T05:17:23.416-07:002013-04-11T05:17:23.416-07:00You look an absolute picture Jessica.

I would though, like to see some parts of the U.S, New Orleans and New England especially and also Germany. <br />I'm sorry your trip into the U.S took it out of you, but you did it and have wonderful memories so it evens itself out I suppose xxxMelaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12238571735302117986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-29301220911292153892013-04-10T10:58:14.701-07:002013-04-10T10:58:14.701-07:00Your outfit is so gorgeous and is perfect for your...Your outfit is so gorgeous and is perfect for your first time in the US.

I haven't seen the whole country myself yet (five out of the ten provinces and three territories so far), but doing so (if my health will let me) over time is truly one of my life goals. Seeing the Yukon (which I have strong family ties to) would be a dream come true for me (and if I could only ever see one another place in Canada, that would be it for me) - it's really neat how we both feel pulled to see the great white north. <br /><br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-69953354152922635842013-04-09T10:29:13.298-07:002013-04-09T10:29:13.298-07:00That outfit is truly fabulous.

Sometimes I'm not sure if it's worth the planning, packing, lack of sleep, inevitably cranky kids, etc. It can be really exhausting so I can just imagine how difficult it can be with chronic health issues. I am so glad you were finally able to visit the US. I have not made it to Canada yet, as Florida is SO far away but we're hoping to someday go through Canada and visit Alaska. It's a dream vacation so I don't know if it will ever happen, but you never know!Chrissy88https://www.blogger.com/profile/09129212920783317786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-54758159238175557672013-04-09T09:03:09.323-07:002013-04-09T09:03:09.323-07:00You look beautiful, as always! :)You look beautiful, as always! :)Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12512800812290518552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-9702896507238049942013-04-09T06:21:48.836-07:002013-04-09T06:21:48.836-07:00I am so glad that you got to go on your trip.

This outfit was entirely planned (albeit on the fly, as the decision to visit the States that day was very last minute) - I just felt in my heart of hearts like I had to wear (US) patriotic colours for my first trip south of the border.<br /><br />I can totally relate on the marshmallow front. By and large, we only have classic vanilla and a mixed fruit/tutti-fruti version here in most Canadian shops. <br /><br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-86875877032602747872013-04-09T04:33:40.193-07:002013-04-09T04:33:40.193-07:00Thank you sweetly, Kathleen.
