Louisiana Day 2 – Resting before the big day
This post reflects the date the entry took place. Because I was using a national wireless connection provided by work, I felt it more appropriate to enter these when I got home. As a result, this is being written on Sunday, April 29, 2007.
Today was a planned rest day. Tomorrow we are going to be attending the Millet family reunion in River Ridge (a close suburb of New Orleans) and yesterday was a long travel day, so we knew in advance that this would be a day for rest.
So we went to Walmart (the heart of Franklin Louisiana) to pick up some necessities for the rest of our trip. We also intended to hit up Winn-Dixie to grab some groceries, but Walmart was first since we were buying things like diapers, wipes, Butt Paste (for real, it is called butt paste) and some clothers. We picked up some food stuffs at Winn-Dixie, though we passed on the Pickled Pigs Lips and Pickled Hog Paws. For lunch we stopped at Chicks Burgers in Baldwin and picked up some PoBoys (I had the Shrimp and Catfish).
After lunch I got on the computer for a bit to check in on a massive upgrade going on at work. After taking care of that, we lit the barbeque and I cooked us up some burgers and sausage. After dinner, we got ready for the drive to New Orleans tomorrow and prepared for a long day fo family meeting and Cajun eating. Hmm, Cajun eating...
