And They're Off...On Vacation by Denny Lynn

For the end of summer we planned a full-fledged family vacation! After a stop over at Grandma's to drop off Oscar we headed out for two weeks of fun! We had the backseat set up with tons of fun stuff to keep us busy.

And of course, we had our snack boxes on hand whenever the munchies hit!

For our first stop we went to Shreveport, Louisiana. We just spent one night there, but we had lots of fun, including crossing over to Bossier City and checking out the Boardwalk. We found this great trolley - even though it wasn't running yet we liked checking it out. We found all kinds of fun things to see...


...including paddle boats on the river...
...and giant fish at Bass Pro Shop....
...but the best thing was a carousel! It had unique animals to ride. John picked a turtle.
I chose a neat bench that didn't go up and down. It was a fun ride.
Our next stop was Louisiana Downs - the horse track. Even though the horses weren't running, we got to check it out.

Louisiana was a great way to kick off our vacation, and we hope to go back there and stay longer next time!
