Greetings from Lake Charles! Not too much to share tonight. We landed in Houston and promplty got lost leaving the airport. Apparently Houston has some fancy roads that are toll, but you cant stop to pay, you have to have a special pass. So we decided to go north and around these silly roads. We saw a lot of nice farm areas, but took a 2 hour detour around Texas. Does that mean we can check Texas off? Anyway, we finally made it to Lake Charles here on the Gulf of Mexico. We learned right away that there are fire ants everywhere. Becca and Mom got into a nest and each have about 4 bites. They sure did jump around alot. Not a super exciting or pretty town, but we got to do some swimming in the pool and had dinner at some local shack called Steamboat Bills. Chris has some Gumbo, mom had some jumbo prawns and I had a Po-Boy. YUMMY. The pool felt like a bath tub it was so warm....no hot tub, obviously they dont need one.
We are staying right next to a HUGE old cemetary. They are selling plots with granite headstones for $125. So...this is the only picture I have to show you from today. Yes...we went and toured around the cemetary. Now to relax and get ready for New Orleans tomorrow!!

Hey traveling family! A picture of a cemetery? Really? This is what you give me from afar? Good grief! Sounds like TX has not been all that kind between the detour and the ants-yikes! Don't cross it off the list just yet....let's do Austin City Limits when Bec gets a few years older.... Ghats the best part of TX. Can't wait to hear about the plantation and Nawlins! Safe travels! Love ya! Xoxo
