After our East Coast roadtrip, we spent 8 days in Louisiana visiting with Shawna's mom. It took us two days driving from NC to LA, spending a night in Birmingham, AL to break up the trip. We arrived early evening and after unloading the car, we had gumbo (leftovers from our time there in January) for dinner!
Keith had a doctor's appointments he needed to get done, so the next day, he drove to Dallas and stayed there two nights while Shawna stayed in LA. While he was in TX, he worked out a couple of times at the Bedford Y (first time!) and had dinner at Zafiros with his parents and Margaret.
While in LA, we did the following activities:
- Shawna and her mom met Betty (friend of Shawna's mom) for lunch in Opelousas at Yamato Steakhouse of Japan. We each got the chicken stir fry and chatted with Betty for 1.5 hours.
- We met with Kim (former LSMSA classmate) in Alexandria for dinner at Spirit Food & Friends. We each got a burger which was very tasty. There was a band playing so we sat outside so we could hear one another and hung out for a couple of hours while catching up.

- We had a crawfish boil at Shawna's mom's house. Hunter did the boil for us and Nicole, Harmony, Hayden, Pat and Chet came over as well. We had chips and dips for snacks and then ate our heart out on crawfish - they were so good and all quite big! Shawna had made a peach cobbler for dessert but it turned out to be way too soupy so we threw it away and just had ice cream for dessert. We all hung out outside - it was a nice breezy day.
