So I did make a promise.....

To show off some pictures from our vacation last month.  Well I have yet to download pictures from my cameras.  I am notorious for it.  Ask my family....I can have pictures on my cameras for months.  So sad!! lol!  

Well, what I will show you are some random pictures that I was able to get with my phone before the battery died.....\("o)/ nooooooooooooo!  If you follow on Instagram @fifiybr you've probably seen these before and they're not the best of the pics....so don't judge.

Quite a bit of pictures....so you can just scroll thru if you don't feel like reading any descriptions.

New Orleans, Louisiana

Driving down I-10 East, lots of wetland.

Driving through the French Quarter.

Walking around the French Quarter, this was one of my favorite things to see.  Balconies filled with plants.  I loved just walking around, plus I was trying to find out where Brad and Angelina live. No luck!! lol!!

Inside the St. Louis Cathedral near Jackson Square.  Beautiful stained glass everywhere.

We had brunch at Cafe Du Monde!  YUMMY!!
Beignets and Cafe Au Lait

Stopped by and bought stuff in the French Market.

We had a visit from swarms of Mayflies off of the Mississippi.  My pic does not even show the amounts that were gathered on street signs, lights or buildings. The news said that this was the biggest swarm ever seen in years.

Visiting one of the many shops off of Decatur St.  I think this was the Pepper Palace.

The fountain in Spanish Plaza by the River Walk.  It is surrounded with seals of the provinces of Spain.  We would have walked around to see them all, but it was really rainy those days, there was water every where and I had flip flops on....not good.

Okay....I do not, I repeat do not eat oysters.  But I will forever eat charbroiled oysters.   We stopped by Drago's which are known for their charbroiled oysters.....YUMMMMMMM!  Believe me they are the best.

This is definitely not the best picture, but its a pic of the Bienville Statue.

 Beautiful bridge crossing the Baton Rouge port.

On our way home we made a stop in Lake Charles....L'Auberge du Lac Casino Resort. I love this place, it's really very lovely. The rooms are awesome, the staff is great and great shows.  We just played slots.  I didn't become a millionaire, but we did stuff our faces at the Le Beaucoup Buffet.  TheHubs and I had points on our PlayerCards so instead of paying 20+ bucks per person we only payed  3 bucks and change total...woo hoo!!

Finally, crossing state lines!!

More familiar territory.  So happy to almost be home.

We had a fabulous time there.  We hope to go back again maybe next month.  

Thanks for stopping by!  

Pin It

Pinkberry Frozen Yogurt finally comes to Houston...well sort of!

i do not own this photo!

So, now that it's here are like really famous people 
gonna go there now?  Probably not, lol!


Any whoooo......

I'm really excited for it, I like to see all the hype when the 1st "whatever" comes to Houston! 

 In my opinion they should have built the 1st one in the Galleria Area.  They have everything else there and it would be in the up-town part of the city.  Nope, it's in the Baybrook (ClearLake/Webster) area allllllll the way on the other side of Texas, geez! Okay not really, Baybrook is south of Houston heading down to Galveston basically. It is really pretty there, don't get me wrong! It's just I'm a little miffed because I would have to drive over an hour to have it (you know with Houston traffic).  

Oh well....

at least my side of town got the 1st Carl's Jr., Yeah buddy!! 

*sidenote - i have yet to go to it, lol!! I have been to the ones in Cali.




I guess I'll just be happy with my Cheesecake with pecans waffle cone from our local "slab of the marble", (yes, that's what I call it) or the most delish Chocolate w/ peanut butter swirls from Baskin!!  YUMMY!


Okay, I just made myself hungry!!  


What's your flavor?  


If I'm buying from the grocery store.... TinRoof

Tasty Tuesdays.....

Who watches Diners, Drive-In's & Dives?  My hubby watches it religiously, even the reruns!!  Which is fine since I love the show.  We've visited most of the featured restaurants in Houston and surrounding areas and love all of them.....


One of our favorites is T-Bone Toms in Kemah, Texas.  When we visited I ordered "the Pig", which is a pulled pork sandwich.   I must say it's one of the tastiest pulled pork sandwiches that I've ever eaten.

The Pig!!  I felt like a pig after eating all of it!!

Sorry!!  I had already eaten half the sandwich before I remembered to take the picture!! It was yuh-uh-my! The sauce was delish and the potato-salad was great.

We also ordered a appetizer which were called Armadillo Eggs!! I kept calling them Armadillo balls, oopsie!! lol!!  These were really tasty as well!!  The breading is filled with chopped brisket and jalapeno with a side of ranch for dipping.  I'm not a jalapeno kind of gal, so I took it out as you can see in the pic.

Armadillo balls Eggs!!

If you're ever in the Kemah area, go on and give it a try.....They have a big menu for you to try!


Happy Eating!!
