Baton Rouge
I writing this blog a computer at our hotel in Baton Rouge. We are staying at Chase Suites, a very nice place. The two bedroom suite has a room upstairs and a room downstairs. There is a fireplace (not needed this time of the year), nice dining room, living room with big TV, couch, and armchair, and a fully-equipped kitchen. Marvin is in the National ABC Bowling Tournament here. He bowls late tonight and then again sometime tomorrow morning. We rode down from Tennessee early yesterday morning with another couple. It took about eight hours to get here. We ate breakfast at Cracker Barrel in Horn Lake, MS. An interesting thing that happened while we were there was one of the ladies who was eating in the restaurant had this big pink bow in her hair. What was unique about this was that the bow was one like you would put on a present. She had what I would call "really big hair", and this pink bow was seated on the right side of her head in the front. One of those things that make you go "Hmmm". We ate lunch in Yazoo City, MS at a Wendy's. There was this guy in there who evidently was travelling the country on foot. He had a walking stick and a bunch of duffel bags. He also looked (and smelled!) like he hadn't had a bath in several days.
We got here and checked in the hotel, and then decided to find the convention center where the guys would be bowling. Then we had a nice dinner at Ruby Tuesdays. I had Cajun-spiced tilapia with shrimp and a salad and veggies. We had potstickers for an appetizer. Then we went back to the hotel where I relaxed in the hot tub and went swimming. I was so tired after swimming that I went to sleep and slept for about 10 hours. We just finished eating breakfast here at the hotel. You can make your own waffles, and they have a variety of cereals, yogurt, breads, cofffe, milk, and juices. We are going to go sightseeing now. I will report back later...Abbeygrape
