We spent the past two weeks in Baton Rouge, Louisiana visiting relatives. We did, however, do a few things we had not done on our last stop here two years ago. Here are some of those things:
The Baton Rouge "Race for the Cure" happened the day after our arrival so we jumped right on that as my cousin, Sandra, who live there is a 2x survivor. Great cause, great day!
 |
| Race for the Cure walking by the LSU stadium..... |
....and by the clock tower at LSU
after the race we enjoyed some jambalaya!
 |
| ......listened to some good music and watched others line dance;) |
 |
| My cousin, Sandra, on the left, never give up!!!!!! |
 |
| we visited the Cohn Arboritum |
 |
| The Draft House in the old historic area near the levee in Baton Rouge had a good variety of beers to try! |
We spent a nice morning at the LSU Ag Center and Windrush Gardens:
Windrush Gardens has lots of lovely statues and garden settings to wander around:
A trip to a Louisiana winery, Ponchatrain Vineyards, had to happen of course:
 |
| Ponchatrain Vineyards, picked up a couple of bottles here, one bottle of a 20 year old Norton grown there! |
....As well as a trip to Abita Brewery!
 |
| Mike and I both like some of their beers! |
 |
| We enjoyed some live country and bluegrass at the local Saturday, Red Stick Market. (It was raining outside;) Bought some great local meat and baked goods though! |
 |
| The LSU Museum of Natural Science and attached art gallery were worth a look around with my cousin Donna |
