Beautiful Louisiana

Paul was asked to go to Louisiana for work.  When he called to tell me I was a little bummed that I was going to have to be alone for a couple days, until he told me that Audrey and I could come too.  So we headed out.  On the way there we stopped for dinner. There was a small little grill attached to a gas station,  I was a little skeptical because of the gas station part.  I ordered a guacamole burger and french fries.  I swear I have never eaten a burger that was better, and I wouldn't call myself a stranger to burgers.  It took up half my plate and I could hardly fit it in my mouth (which is saying something).  Let's just say it's a good thing that I don't live in that little town.  I have a feeling my waist line would be a lot thicker.    

Our first full night there we went to visit Paul's Mom's cousin Tom and his wife Toni.  It was so much fun to see the area where Paul's Mom grew up and meet some more of her family. They treated us so well....if there was ever "southern hospitality" I found it here.  We sat and chatted about family as we drank lemonade.  They gave us a tour of their beautiful plantation home and we had a traditional southern dinner. The food was so good I sometimes dream about it.
As we drove up to their place I was amazed by how gorgeous it was.  I was only further amazed as we walked through it. If Audrey hadn't started fussing we might have stayed there all night.  I have a feeling we will be back Tom!

Their Front Yard.....Seriously?

Audrey did not like her car seat on the way home. Eventually she fell asleep
