Natchitoches Weekend

Bart, Ella and I had a great little getaway this weekend. It was very spontaneous, and that made it even more fun. I love not making any reservations sometimes. I loooove Natchitoches. It is the cutest little town with little shops and the river and old houses and hills. Its just so quaint. And of course there's Northwestern and all the memories that come along with it. When we drove through downtown, there was obviously a rowing race going on, and I remembered when I was on the rowing team. How did I ever wake up every morning at 5am for practice to go in that cold a$$ water and freeze my ta-ta's off?? I guess that's why I was so skinny and yet thought I was so fat! Ha ha!

We passed by a lot of old hangouts. Nicky's mexican restaurant for one - fun times. Oh, and I got a snapshot of the McDonald's while we were trying to decide what we would pick up for lunch. Look at this pic.....only in a cute town like Natchitoches would there be a waterfall in the drive-thru line!!

We also had a blast hanging out with our friends Tyler and Veronica and our godchild Breanna. She is such a cutie. We always have fun with them...we were hanging out at her sister's house. Her sister was in Baton Rouge for the weekend, so we just kinda used their house while they were away. They have this really pretty house with the most perfect backyard. I love the outdoor fireplace...I could sit by that thing every night. And then we had fun with their electric scooters. And Tango had fun with the basketball. Ha ha.

Well, I am tired and am ready for a new week at school. I graded a lot of papers while we were in the car. Still not done though.
