(MMO) Navarre Beach Kayaks to Music in the Heart of New Orleans

The Matt Mittan Show

Apr 29 2024 • 40 mins

Have you ever had a road trip take unexpected twists and turns that led to unforgettable memories? Join us as we recount our annual journey to the New Orleans Jazz Fest, beginning with a last-minute car rental and the scenic beauty of the Emerald Coast. From our quirky road trip rituals to the rejuvenating power of travel, we explore how these adventures breathe new life into our routines, balancing between professional commitments and our love for exploration.

Our adventure took an interesting turn at the enormous Buckeyes gas station, where despite the great food and clean bathrooms, we decided one visit was enough. Perdido Key's fishing spots beckoned us, leading to a spontaneous kayak purchase through Facebook Marketplace. This kayak, rich with history and sentimental value, became a symbol of our love for the water, though transporting it home was no small feat. The anticipation of future kayaking escapades only added to the excitement of our journey.

And then, there's Jazz Fest. From the serendipitous help of a kind officer to our humorous misadventures with forgotten phones, the festival was packed with music, food, and camaraderie. We share our reflections on the evolving dynamics of the event, the resilience of New Orleans' culture, and the sense of community that makes each visit special. These shared journeys, filled with connection and joy, are what make our annual pilgrimage to the Gulf Coast an indelible part of our lives. Join us as we celebrate the unforgettable moments and the vibrant spirit of the New Orleans Jazz Fest.
