Our "mini" vacation

Jeff and I just back from a nice, long weekend in Louisiana. We had a great time. We got in Friday afternoon, visited some friends we hadn't seen in a few months and then headed over to our other friends house who we were spending the weekend with. Saturday morning, we split up and the boys went to the shooting range and the girls went to the mall. I met my best friend and my sister, brother-in-law and niece there. Not a long visit, but a good one. In the afternoon, we headed to New Orleans where we were spending the night. After checking into the hotel, we got dressed for dinner and headed over to Mr. B's, a really nice restaurant where we ate dinner. After a yummy dinner of barbecued shrimp (Jeff had shrimp wrapped in bacon over grits) and dessert of bread pudding, we headed back to the hotel to watch #1 LSU beat #9 Florida in football. Sunday morning we got up, checked out of the hotel and headed over to the Superdome to watch the Saints game. They ended up losing the game, but we still had a lot of fun. Back in Baton Rouge, the newest store is Cabello's. It just opened last week, but on Sunday evening, it was packed! It is a fun store just to look around. They have some cool stuff there. After Cabello's, we went to eat at Superior Grill, then went to Coffee Call to have dessert of beignets and coffee. So yummy! Monday we had a lazy morning, ate some poboys for lunch then did a little LSU shopping. We headed home in the afternoon. All in all, we had a really, really nice time. It got our minds off of things and we just had some good fun for a change. That's all for now...
