Last month my parents and I drove to New Orleans for the Sugar Bowl. It’s an 11-hour drive, so we broke it up by spending the night in Lafayette on the way down and in Dallas on the way back. Dallas is by far one of my favorite cities, and since it’s only about 4 hours …
I had such a great trip to New Orleans in December for the Sugar Bowl. I got to spend time with great friends, enjoyed lots of Cajun food, and watched my first game in the Superdome. Unfortunately we lost the game, but that didn’t diminish our good times and memories. I wanted to get to Shreveport …
