Re: Avery Island and other things to do
During her stay we also went to the »appl027.lsu.edu/rlm/rurallifeweb.nsf/index rural life museum. If any of you are ever in Baton Rouge you should check it out. We also went to the old Governor’s mansion »www.oldgovernorsmansion.org/ and the old State Capitol building »www.nps.gov/history/NR/travel/lo···ocap.htm I had never been to either one of them before and enjoyed them both.
Yesterday I took her to New Orleans. We parked near Harrah's and went into the Casino. She had never been in one before and that is a nice small Casino to see. After that we walked up into the lobby of the »www.starwoodhotels.com/westin/pr···yID=1763 so I could show her a nice view of the river and the cathedral. Then we walked down to cafe du monde for a cafe au lait and beignets. After that we walked around the shops in that area and through the French Market. Then we walked back up to Jackson Square and St Louis Cathedral »www.stlouiscathedral.org/ .
I believe she had fun. I tried to keep her busy while here and we ate at a lot of good restaurants, mostly cajun and seafood. It was 95-100 degrees and humid the whole time she was here. The was no rain or afternoon showers at all. She isn't used to the heat, but I don't believe she was totally miserable during her stay. It could have been worse.

Glad the trip worked out well. I enjoyed Avery Island and my wife keeps telling me she wants to go. I'll have to take her soon. |

| I would definitely suggest taking her to Avery Island for that garden drive. I have been thinking that it would be one of those neat places to take someone for a long slow paced date. There is lots of time to talk and the scenery is gorgeous.
