Road Trip!

Tuesday, April 20th, 2010

I haven’t posted on here in ages. We’re planning a road trip for Friday to go see one of the wife’s friends in Georgia. We’re keeping it as cheap as we can. I’m taking pimento cheese, munchos and a cooler level cheap.

Thankfully, we both have MP3 players we can load up with all kinds of good music & podcasts. Here’s the Podcasts I’m definitely loading up for the trip:

I’m also auditioning others on my commute this week to see what might be do-able.

I doubt there’s any interest, but I might do some from the road posting just to see how that works.

We’ve been back for a week, and damn that’s a city that I really like. It’s kinda like escaping to a bit of Europe for a weekend.

Excellent food for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Nice drinks on Rue Bourbon Friday night, lots of interesting places & things in the city.

Highlights:
Best Meal – Saturday Lunch at The Praline Connection.
Best Drink – Hand Grenade at Tropical Isle
Best Music – Becky singing onstage at Club 544. :)
Best Food Network groupie moment (aka places we should have ate at but didn’t) – Tie – Bailey’s Andouille Sausage place on Hwy 61 from Alton Brown’s Feasting on Asphalt and Tee Eva’s Soul Food on Magazine St from The Dean Brother’s show Road Tasted.

Back from Corpus

Sunday, August 12th, 2007

We made it back from our weekend getaway late yesterday. Had a great time, even with the few bumps in the road that come with any vacation.

Highlights:

  • Got sausage & jalapeno bread and some turkey jerky at Prasek’s on the way down
  • Ate at Wienerschnitzel
  • Awesome hotel room @ Holiday Inn Padre Island Dr
  • Found a kick-ass breakfast place, Andy’s Kitchen
  • Audrey loved the aquarium
  • Met up with Victor & Donnie late Friday
  • Ate at Andy’s again on Saturday morning
  • Had good chi-fry at K2 Steakhouse in Bay City

Lowlights:

  • Got a broken window on the car Thursday afternoon
  • Audrey’s schedule was off kilter so she wasn’t her best sometimes

All in all a good trip and a nice weekend away. Too bad it’s Sunday night and we get to go back to work tomorrow.
