Lafayette to New Orleans
We had a wonderful holiday week with our Judice Family in Lafayette. We wished we had time to visit all of our old friends in the area, but family takes priority on these visits, when time is limited. When you have 30-40 family members, it’s an intense visit! We both feel like our parents need the most time on the ‘home visits’ so we try to spend the most time with our folks and branch out from there as we can.
Thank you Ronnie and Yvette for welcoming us and T'Chat with open arms for the week. An especial thanks to Remi and Lisa for opening their home (twice!) to the whole family to gather and enjoy each others’ company. I was so glad we got to spend a little extra time with dear Karen and Alina, 'Dis Robin, and some of our nephews and nieces. Visiting Father Louie, Carm and Paul was another special treat.
We pulled out today and headed to one of our favorite cities in the United States, New Orleans. Join me as I share a few snapshots from our stay here.
Lafayette, Louisiana!
Smooth traveling on last day to our Judice Family.
Worked out at the Schulenberg Anytime Fitness, stopped for coffee next to the Polka Museum, and Kolaches at the Kountry Bakery. I’m always suspicious of businesses that change their spelling from ‘C'to 'K.’ Except Krispy Kremes, of course.
Kolaches ~ bread, cakelike thing (like a cinnamon roll without the cinnamon), topped with cream cheese, cherries or other fruit. I wasn’t impressed, but maybe Kountry Bakery didn’t have the top-notch kolache.
The excitement of the day was driving through Houston. Not as scary as when I drove our old Magic Bus RV through New York City, but still required my full driving attention.
We were so happy to arrive at Ronnie and Yvette’s this afternoon. It is great to be home. They treated us to a good homecooked meal tonight. Now for 8 days of family visiting and Christmas festivities.
Merry Christmas all!
