Baton Rouge. LA

Part of our Thanksgiving trip was spent in Baton Rouge where we had lunch at an old college haunt for Paul and Linda (although they did not visit the Past Time Lounge together as they didn't know each other at the time.) While the food was good, I will have you know that a prompt visit to the restroom was very necessary for me...LA food tends to do a number on my stomach but as noted in previous posts, Trey was in Cajun heaven!
After lunch we went to the LSU stadium. People down there take college football very seriously. EVERYONE was wearing their gold and purple. LSU has a tiger as their mascot and back in 1920 they decided that it would be a great idea to have a real live tiger on campus. Mike the Tiger has been reincarnating ever since.Hazel and August had a great time playing with the statue of one version of Mike the Tiger.
At one point in the day we visited downtown Baton Rouge and found a statue of Christopher Columbus looking rather windblown and stiff. August did a good job impersonating him.

Apparently Chris had some amazing hair which left our ever-so-dramatic Hazel feeling sad because her hair didn't look that good that day.
Later that day we all got dressed up in hot pink and superman blue to get our pictures taken for Linda's 60th birthday. We then went to Chris and Angela's house to celebrate.
