Cajun Cows

We arrived in Lafayette, LA after an epic drive across the northern part of Florida, southern Mississippi and Alabama, and a good chunk of Louisiana. Crossing over the bayous provided for a lovely view of town, but, by the time we arrived in Lafayette, the tummies were a-rumblin'. Being the foodie cast we are, it naturally occurred to us that the appropriate food option for the evening would be local fare: Cajun! Sunday in Lafayette affords limited options, but the very Cajun attendant of the front desk at our La Quinta offered a solution, a place that included live zydeco and dancing. What followed was easily one of the better nights on this tour:




Alaina samples her first taste of 'gator





Crawfish étouffée


Colleen gobbles down the world's best bread pudding



In case you couldn't tell, this is an alligator statue


Call tomorrow: 7:30, La Quinta parking lot. Time to entertain the kiddies once again.

Kid Quote of the Day: When the cows start to learn how to type on the laptop, a little boy turned to Alaina (who, this time, was exposed in the house) and told her, "You know, those cows are gonna break that computer."

Colleen Tractor Quote of the Day: "Ethan Marc Angelica!! I believe one of the Ten Commandments is to honor thy father and mother, and you can start by putting your tractor away!!"
