So, time to tell you lovelies where we went on our adventure. We loaded up the truck and went to Baton Rouge. We stayed at the Drury Inn and we highly recommend it, the hotel and staff were very nice. With the price of the hotel we got free breakfast and in the evenings they serve a free dinner/snack bars, which was great for the night we got there. We were sick of being in the truck for the last 10 hours, and all the girls wanted to do was swim. We do not live in a neighborhood, nor do we have a pool in our backyard, so anytime there is a pool to swim in that is what they want to do.
and swim is what they did
Little Sister is trying to learn to float on her back
look there is even proof that I went on this trip
The next morning went went down town to the Saturday morning Farmers Market.
I had been to New Orleans a long time ago with a friend and her... well that is another story (Hi NeeCee, I have forgot you, I will try to get those recipes together this week). I did not realy like New Orleans don't get me wrong it had some beautiful things but I am not much of a BIG city girl. I was arfraid I would feel the me way about Baton Rouge.
But boy was I wrong
We love Baton Rouge it is a big city but it feels like a small town
The streets are clean, no trash to be seen
The farmers market is the best I had ever been to
there was an amazing assortment of produce
and the people, oh the people are lovely. Like this sweet gentleman who gave each of our girls a sunflower, he made their day
and these sweet little ladies, I could have brought anyone of them home.
Baton Rouge we will be back

That looks like so much fun. I love Farmer's Markets and that was darling of that sweet man to give your girls sunflowers. that would have made my day too!
Great post! But I am kinda partial to BR. I grew up and lived 25 miles outside of baton rouge until 5 years ago. So we had the best of both worlds - a great city while living in the country. It is a great town. We are there practically once or twice a month -- all our kids and all my family is still there. I'm still homesick. It's always good to hear someone enjoying what you will always love.
Thanks for sharing - putting BR on my list of places to go. I LOVE a great farmers market. I love that you take so many photos - my hubby is always shaking his head because I take pictures of the most random things on trips...how are you going to remember the little thing otherwise right?
Oh my goodness you were so close to us and I missed you. I'm so glad that you liked BR. I have to say I have never been to that market but will go soon. It does look wonderful. Maybe next time you are in town we can meet and have lunch. Take care and enjoy your summer! ((Hugs)) Susie
what fun pictures. they all look so good. i love this time of year when you can go outside to pick something out of the yard to eat or go to a farmer's market and know it is so fresh.
i've stayed at several drury inns in the past. enjoyed everyone of them.
so glad you all had a good time.
Thanks for sharing, Cha Cha, it looks like you had a fun time :).
It looks like you had a lovely time!
