I’ll resume with the Hilton Head posts eventually, but wanted to jump in with some reviews from our latest adventure – Louisiana and Texas. We took Baby J on a plane for the first time and flew to New Orleans where we ate non-stop for 3 days. Then we rented a car and spent a day in Lafayette/Breaux Bridge, the Cajun food/Crawfish capital, before heading to Texas. There we spent some time in Houston and visited NASA, had an epic “lunch” at four different barbecue restaurants in Luling and Lockhart, experienced great Mexican food in San Antonio, and then wound down our trip with a 4-hour wait at the famed Franklin BBQ in Austin. We were pretty full and barbecued out by the time we flew home from Austin, and needless to say, our cholesterol levels probably took a hit after our trip, but we had the time of our lives. It was truly a food-oriented vacation, with a little sightseeing in between. J handled all the travel brilliantly, and we look forward to taking her on more adventures in the coming year.
So first up on our foodie getaway: New Orleans
