A Week in Louisiana...

So as you can tell from previous posts, I was able to spend almost a week in Louisiana with my family. I'll tell you right now, it wasn't near long enough. I wasn't ready to come back home. But...on the positive side, I got to spend a LOT of time with a LOT of family, made special memories, watched LOTS of football, and enjoyed every single moment of it!! Can't go wrong there right?

My Granddaddy has been in/out of the hospital and the day after we got there, he was able to come home! We went to Poncho's Mexican restaurant to eat. I hadn't eaten there since I was a little kid....so in honor of my sweet Mammaw...that's where we ate.

It was buffet style. I honestly wasn't sure if I wanted to go because I didn't think I would like it...and didn't want to ruin the GREAT memory I had as a kid going there all the time with Granddaddy and Mammaw. But, it wasn't TOO bad for this style of Mexican food...

Anytime you need something, just raise your flag!

Sopapillas! Yummy! In honor of Mammaw. She LOVED these things. Only we eat honey with it and she poured HOT HOT Sauce on them. ha!


The Poncho's "dude". lol

And we also got to eat at Aunt Wanda and Aunt Nellie's BBQ restaurant!

And we just had to have a little photo op in the little town my Granddaddy lives in.

On the way home we passed through Mena, Arkansas. We happened to see the old train depot there that had an old historic car there. For some reason I love taking pics of old cars so we just had to stop. :)

Loving the front of this car!


*sigh* Now can we go back to the South? :)
