Parents Visit Day #4

On the road again! This time we headed north across Lake Ponchartrain via the Causeway bridge...a 23 mile long straight trip across open choppy lake water! The weather was much nicer compared to the previous days. After crossing to the Northshore we continued north into Mississippi before cutting west and heading to Centreville to visit the Camp Van Dorn World War II Museum. You may remember that I visited this museum last May with my aunt and uncle. It was good for mom and dad to see the place too and update some records on my Granddaddy there. 


I drove a different route back south so that we would go through Baton Rouge. Our road trip snack was an...umm...interesting bag of Chicken & Waffles potato chips. Weird! It tasted like someone poured syrup in a bag of plan chips. I won't be trying those again! After passing through the Louisiana state capital we stopped at Cabelas to check out all the animals. We spent a while reading all of the placards and taking it all in. Once back in the Big Easy we ate dinner at the Acme Oyster House in the French Quarter on a recommendation from a Lexington fella that told mom we should go there. It was rather tasty indeed. Dessert was enjoyed uptown at Creole Creamery.
