Detour to Uncle Dustin's!

 










We took a little detour home from Texas through Baton Rouge to go visit my little brother, Dustin, and sister-in-law, Stacy.  We wanted to see their new home and it was amazing and totally worth the extra few hours in the car to be able to visit with them.  They treated us to a fun day in New Orleans on Saturday.  First we had lunch at Parkway Bakery, famous for their po boy's and for hosting President Obama to lunch one time.  Then we headed to their central park where they have a little amusement park set up for kids with all sorts of kiddie rides, and a few adult ones, too.  The kids LOVED it!  The humidity and temps there were killer and Brock and Jillian were super sweaty, but it didn't ruin their fun!  They definitely passed out in the car on the ride back to Baton Rouge!  We played some "bags," where somehow I blew our 17 - 2 lead and ended up losing.  I'm blaming it on the bugs.  We had a great time though, we cooked out and Dustin even made us some homemade milkshakes.  It just stinks that we're 12 hours apart.   The kids LOVED being around their Uncle Dustin & Aunt Stacy!
