| Shawna and Her Mom (Honney) |
We went to Louisiana over MLK weekend to celebrate Shawna's mother's (Honney) 75th birthday. We flew into New Orleans on Friday night and got in very late - while the drive is longer, it was a direct flight from Baltimore and much cheaper than the other flights. Over the weekend, we relaxed, got some work done and went for walks in town. Honney had made a pineapple cake which we nibbled on all weekend (it was our breakfast every morning) - needless to say we probably gained a couple of pounds.

On Saturday night, we celebrated at
Red River Grill by inviting 22 of Honney's friends. A few people didn't show up so we ended up with 18 people for dinner. We got there early and had a few drinks at the bar and then sat down for dinner. Keith and Shawna shared the crawfish beignet appetizer and the venison loin for dinner - very tasty. Nicole bought a red velvet cake which we all had for dessert after signing Happy Birthday. Shawna ran into one of her high school friends that she had not seen in over 20 years so they reminisced over old memories. It was a very nice evening to share it with Honney and her friends.

Keith left on Sunday afternoon to fly out of New Orleans (he did not have MLK off) and Shawna stayed one more night to spend more time with her mom. On Monday, Shawna and her mom had lunch at
Copeland's and did some shopping in Alexandria before Shawna was dropped off at the airport to fly home.
