We went to Louisiana last weekend to spend some time at our hunting camp. All the girls (Chris, Ella, Mary, Mom, Clayton and myself) went into Monroe one day for my aunt and great aunt and uncle to meet Clayton and Ella. We spent the rest of the time fishing and relaxing. It was a great mini vacation!
Can anyone ever get bored of seeing alligators? Not me. (Well, I guess as long as I'm not seeing them in the same body of water I'm swimming in but we are in Louisiana and they are pretty much everywhere. Just don't think about it when jumping off the dock.)
And thank goodness I got some sun so I'm not this ghostly anymore.

A highlight of the trip for me was teaching Mary a little of the history of Somerset Plantation. In short, the owner burned the plantation house to prevent northern troops from using it during the Civil War. There are remnants such as broken china and bullets. Mary thought it was so neat just as I did when I was little.
A few interesting pieces we found this trip were a Lea & Perrin bottle stop, marble, button, part of a brick that said Louisiana on it, and a piece of a bottle that said Tallulah, LA (town 20 miles north- don't think it's from the 1800's but it was still a neat find).
I made picture frames with my findings when I was younger.
This picture pretty much sums up our weekend: babas, booze, and the great outdoors.
Oh and I have to mention how excited I am that The Bottle Shop reopened!!! I LOVE their margaritas (I won't mention the number I consumed over the weekend.) And their crawfish is really good too. For those of you who are wondering what The Bottle Shop is. It's the drive-thru store in Tallulah, LA.
