New Orleans or bust

We hit the road yesterday about 11 am. Not as early as we'd hoped, but I didn't have a day off this past week to get packed. No worries though, it's vacation! Who needs a watch or a schedule?!

We stopped quite a few times along the route. Of course, we had to get a car wash. Although, a lot of good that did us, it rained on us while driving through the entire state of Louisiana.



Have you heard of Natchitoches? Thomas has. Evidently, they are famous for meat pies and we had to stop and try one. Of course, he gets the most spicy meat pie he could find! Wow, was it hot!



Our last stop was in Breaux Bridge where we had a catfish sandwich for dinner. This place was pretty good, Crazy Bbout Crawfish. We noticed everyone's accents and T teased me about mine changing after we cross that Mississippi bridge.



It was a long day, 11 hours in the car, and I was so ready to finally get here. Our GPS had bit the dust and we noticed this after just starting out on the drive. Our plans today are to explore New Orleans and buy a new GPS. We might better get that GPS first.~

Enjoy your day!
