Baton Rouge (June 2012)

The beginning of June (last year... told you I was behind) we took a trip to Baton Rouge to see my Grandmother and the rest of the family that is still in that area.  We drove from NC to LA.  We broke the trip up with stops in Atlanta (going with Grandma & Grandpa and coming with Nana & Granddad).

 

We found Waugh, AL.  Not much. I think we found a sign that said it was the Community of Waugh and a few houses.  But it isn't everyday you see your last name along a highway.

 

 

Grandma took us & the kids to Chuck E. Cheese one day.  The kids had a blast! 

 

Andrew's version of skeeball.

 

Kathryn "teaching" Grandma how to play.

 

Uncle Rick & Kasidy took us to LSU to see Mike.

 

Snuggling with Grandma Nancy before passing out for the night.

 

Uncle Rick, Aunt Beth & Kasidy took us to New Orleans for the day.  No trip is complete without a stop to Cafe Du Monde for beignets.  Andrew even got a cup of coffee!

 

Have to do the must-do-picture on Bourbon Street.

 

Andrew kept wanting to go back into the "castle."

We walked over to the Aquarium of the Americas.  We were so hot and tired we thought the big air conditioned building would be nice.  The kids were too scared to pose by themselves.  Thankfully Daddy & Uncle Rick were brave enough to go with them.

 

Saying goodbye to Grandma Nancy until next time.

 

Stopped in Rome on our way back home.  This was leaving Chick-Fil-A with Nana & Granddad.

 

I am sure I am missing details, but it was nine months ago.  We had fun on our trip and I am so glad that I was able to go see Grandma.  I hadn't seen her since my brother's wedding and hadn't seen Uncle Rick since I was a freshman in High School!  It is wonderful having family you can just pick up with after almost 20 years.  Love all of my Baton Rouge family!!
