Nelson Family Reunion 2011: Louisiana Style-Day 1

Be patient with me.  So much happened on our trip & I'm excited to share it all!  I've decided to break it down into days & different activities.

This year was my Dad's family reunion & it was being held down in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.  James & I have been excited about this for the last two years.

We left early Wednesday Morning {May 25th} just before midnight {so technically we left the 24th} because we were too wired to go to sleep just to wake up in 4 hours.

We decided to drive down south stopping in Amarillo, Texas for the night.  The kids did awesome on the first day.  I think being able to sleep through some of it helped out.

I drove through the day, and my...what gorgeous landscapes.  We had quite the adventure driving down country highways & smaller towns.


This was through Texas I believe.  It was just so different seeing all this openess and not a single mountain.


We got to Amarillo at a descent time, which left us a pretty good chunk of time to have some fun.  The boys tried to go swimming, but the pool was a little bit too cold.

We ended the night with some ice cream, and got to bed because we had to be up early again.
