Today we got up early and loaded up in our truck. Tommy, Diane, Don, hubby and I are going to Lafayette, La today to explore the Cajun cultural. We got on the road and our first stop was the Lafayette Visitor Center.
We explored the visitor center and got some good suggestions of places to see and where to eat.
I love the art work outside
decorated for christmas
a cabinet full of their history
French sign
the board walk
Here is our new friend Don, he is single for any good single women out there :)
Lenny (hubby) and I on the board walk
Tommy and Diane on the board walk
there were no gators that we saw .. i’m sure it’s because this visitor center is in the middle of town and surrounded by busy highways.
Don and I … i twisted his arm to get him to pose with me :)
The duck house
and here are the ducks
Yes it’s your lucky day, you are getting pictures of me since Diane is taking pictures too (thanks Diane) Hey family look! Hubby is actually smiling .. this is a very rare photo .. you better cherish it as you know their very far and between (hubby hardly ever smiles in a picture)
more cypress knobs
Looking over the area
here is a gorgeous goose

Next on list was to stop at a famous place to eat for some brunch.
Dwyer's Cafe .. Don ordered breakfast and everyone else ordered lunch
the sun hadn’t come out yet, so it was a bit cool to sit outside and enjoy the meal so we chose to sit inside.
the building across the street had a pretty mural
the street both ways has several little malls, but we didn’t have time today
Because we did so many things, i can not begin to put it all in one post, so once again your going to get several post on exploring Lafayette, La .. we left early and got home around 10 pm .. wait till you see what we did next …..
