We are still settling back into our daily routine, after returning from Louisiana on Sunday afternoon. Our first destination on the trip was Lake Charles, where we spent four days catching up with Brad’s family. We stayed with his mom (Nana), and also spent some quality time with Jeff and Lisa, and their five month old, Corbin. Some of the highlights: escaping the south Louisiana heat in Nana’s apartment swimming pool, eating a delicious dinner at Casa Manana (Brad and I had the best tacos we’ve ever had!), visiting my Aunt Elaine for breakfast one morning, and listening to old records that we found in Nana’s storage closet (including Michael Jackson’s Thriller). Here are some pictures from our time in Lake Charles:
