Baton Rouge, LA

We made it to Baton Rouge and met up with Mark.  After a quick lunch in our van we headed to downtown Baton Rouge to explore the city.

The Governor's Mansion is just across the causeway on the lake, behind the clump of trees.

That night we went to Sammy's for dinner.  I got the crawfish Po' Boy.  It was delicious.

Afterwards we picked up a King Cake and completely devoured it.  

We stayed in the hotel parking lot where Mark and his family were staying.  It worked out really well.
