Trip to Baton Rouge

Justin, Jason and I finally made it down to Baton Rouge this year. It had been a couple of years since we had been to visit during football season, so we were really excited to take a road trip. Friday night we drove straight to a party being held for a bunch of old geezers we know. Just kidding, it was for a bunch of fabulous people we know that have been friends since they attended LSU, and just happen to be turning 60 this year. 2 of the honorees are of course my Mom and Dad (Mimi and Papaw to Jason), and it was fun to be there to help celebrate. It was also the first time some of my parent's friends heard the news of our expecting another baby, which was fun news to share. Jason also got a lot of attention and was very well behaved considering he had spent the previous 7 hours in the car.

After the party we headed on over to our good friends Emily and Drew's house, who were gracious enough to let us stay with them for the weekend. They have a very handsome almost 5 month old, William. Jason was very taken with the baby, and I think Emily and Drew got to see a little bit of what was in store for them when Will gets a few years older.

Saturday we got dressed up in our LSU Tiger gear and went out to LSU's campus for some tailgating. Good food, great fans, a lot of purple and gold, and multiple tailgating parties to attend = a great day of fun, albeit a long one. Our little tiger Jason was pretty worn out come game time. Emily and I took Jason back to the house and let the boys go to the game, where LSU soundly defeated Auburn. GEAUX TIGERS!

Sunday morning we went to brunch with a bunch of Baton Rouge friends and even managed to have a table of 14! It was really nice catching up with friends that we have not seen in a while. Then it was time to hit the road and head back to Texas, but not before stopping at CC's Coffee House (Community Coffee) for some to-go coffees.

The drive home was fairly uneventful, but as we made it back to the metroplex we got to drive through some pretty heavy rain. We managed to pull into our garage and quickly unload the car before it got really nasty. It's really fun to do road trips every once in a while, and this one was a success.
