The first couple days of our trip we visited Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and Mobile, Alabama.
When we went to Baton Rouge it was Memorial Day weekend. There was no body around! It felt like a ghost town. This was kind of a bummer because many restaurants were closed, but the good part was that there wasn’t any traffic or waiting in lines so we could explore the city.
One of our first places we visited for BBQ (which is a must on a road trip with the Mr), was The Brick Pit. This restaurant was featured on Man vs Food and it was good…but it wasn’t my favorite from the trip. My favorite was in a different state, so stay tuned ;-)
After Baton Rouge, we were off to Alabama :-)
Some things just don’t change…even in a hotel. Poor Mr Turtle LOL
Downtown Mobile was such a cute city filled with Southern Charm

During the day, the Mr and I gorged on BBQ, but in the evenings, we feasted on scrumptious seafood.
Crab bisque and seafood au gratin.

After Alabama we went to Florida, and it was Rooney’s first trip to the beach… stay tuned for Part 4!!!
Have you ever been to Baton Rouge or Mobile? What did you think?

Looks like a lot of fun, still! The picture of Phil with the fish above him is a great picture!
I forgot to bring my lunch to work today (after 14 months of doing it every work day), so those food pictures are making my HUNGRY!
Of course, the other photos are fun too! Although I'm sure a desolate Baton Rouge was kind of eerie!
How beautiful! I've never been to the deep south, and it looks like a very rich and lovely place to visit!
i really enjoy the trips and the pics and the stories--please keep them coming
oh my, the crab bisque and seafood au gratin pics are making my mouth water! I've been dieting entirely too long.....
I have never been to either and the sad thing is is that they aren't far from Texas. I need to get more! Loved looking at all the pictures! Looks like you guys ate well! ;)

Looks amazing, the food too! Oh and poor mr. turtle totally had me cracking up :)
I have never been to either of those places - it looks like you had a great time! And I can't believe you travel with your pups! I mean, it's you and you are the best puppy momma so I'm not surprised, but how do they do in the car/hotel/traveling?!
I've wanted to go to LA...looks like an awesome place!
That looks so fun! It looks like Phil has a fish on his head in that one picture! haha
It looks like you had a great time on your road trip. Lovely pics!
