Matt and I have been planning a trip to the south for quite some time... We took several days off of work and left March 5. Six states and 12 hours later, we arrived in Lafayette, LA to visit Matt's brother Daniel. We hadn't seen him since Christmas so we were all so excited! Daniel is playing baseball at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette for the Ragin' Cajuns. We had a fun weekend watching baseball in the sunshine and visiting with Daniel.
Monday morning we headed west to Katy, TX to visit my expectant sister Nicole and her husband Adam. Matt had never been to their house, so we had a relaxing week filled with all kinds of excitement. For one, the weather was warm in Katy. We cooked and went out to eat a LOT! Matt had a new best friend for the week: Nicole and Adam's pug, Bentley. They played alllll week long! We went to the aquarium in downtown Houston one day and of course, did a little shopping. Thursday night we went to the Houston Rodeo and Livestock Show for some great entertainment, followed by a Brad Paisley concert. Needless to say, we had a GREAT time!! (Although at 37 weeks, I was hoping Nicole would have my nephew while we were there...)
At the end of the week, we headed back to Lafayette for another weekend of baseball. This time, Matt's parents John and Doris and his younger brother Tyler were there too! It was really fun to spend the weekend with my entire future family :) We got a little taste of the Cajun food traditions and crazy fans while we tailgated with the "Cajun Tails Tailgating Club" before the games. We had Jambalya, a roasted hog, beef brisket, corn bread, and some other southern side dishes. DELICIOUS! I was glad that they like to eat down there!
The best part of the vacation was Matt and I getting to spend 10 whole days together with no work or stress! I'm ready for the next vacation now...
