Visiting Donna

A few weeks before we moved we went down for one last trip to Lafayette to see Donna. We had a great time, like usual. She always spoils us:) She cooked crawfish etouffee for Dan the first night we got there and continued to pile on the Cajun cuisine until we left. We also filled the weekend with enough Cajun activities to hopefully last us until we could come visit again. So to say the least, the weekend was bittersweet:)

We got to see Donna's kids and mom which was great. We always love getting to visit with all of them. Her daughter, Angel, we got to spend the most time with. On Saturday we went to New Orleans for the day and she came along. We mainly went to see the French Quarters and the French Market.

Some of the neat buildings.

I don't know how well you can see, but as we were taking pictures in Jackson Square it was about to begin to downpour. We made it just in time! As soon as we snapped a few pictures we ran to the car in order not to get soaked:) The rain came at a good time though, we were tired and had seen just about all we wanted to see on our short trip to New Orleans. We go to eat Beignets, browse all the junk at the market (our favorite part), and spend time with Angel and Donna. The ride home was a different story, we are used to Louisiana rain, but this was worse than the normal Louisiana rain! But thanks to Donna and her one good eye (lol) we were able to make it back home safely!
