We were on the road by 6:30 (Roy's alarm didn't go off so we didn't get off as early as hoped for). Audrey was much more awake than she should have been, and was quite the little chatterbox.
Stopped for Chick-fil-a, gas and a diaper change a couple hours later, ate lunch on the road and made it to Baton Rouge around 3:30 or so. We checked in at the hotel and then headed to the nearest Bass Pro shop (naturally...?).
Audrey was very excited about the ducks and fish, and even all the stuffed things. We had quite an educational experience!!
Cozy, huh?
My cuties :)
And then there was this guy....
200(ish) pounds of reptilian scaryness. Check out that head!! As if alligators weren't scary enough.. I am NEVER going bayou-ing.
Between the beloved Daylight Savings fall back, and the time zone change, we were all sorts of messed up. Everyone was in bed at 7:30 that night, and Audrey was up at 4:50 the next morning (actually, we were all awake as Audrey fell off the 3-foot bed in her sleepy stupor). The plan was to sleep in a little, eat breakfast around 7 and then get on our way... oh well.
We packed up and headed out. :)
The drive across the western 2/3rds of Louisiana is a little daunting. Pretty sure EVERY time I've driven across the 20 miles of the Atchafalaya Basin Bridge it's looked like this:
Lovely, huh?
Somehow we made it, with all our limbs, fingers and toes intact. (Side note: If you're bored and want to be a little freaked out, google "lost in the atchafalaya basin" "deaths in...." "bodies found in...")
After a quick stop in Houston at the Kolache Factory, we made it to our Home Sweet Home somewhere after 3. We unloaded the car, unpacked the kitchen, made beds, cooked the frozen pizza my wonderful husband thought to put in the freezer last week and headed to bed early... well, except for me. I had a training call at 8:45, and despite my best efforts I couldn't keep my eyes open so I set an alarm for 8:42. Goodness.
Ok, its snack, Greens, and go-for-a-run-to-the-park time!
