Well, it's the second week of January and I've already been able to cross off half of one of my 12 in 2012. I say half because my number eight on the list is to travel to two places that I've never been before. This past weekend, Ryan and I traveled down to Port Sulfur, Louisiana for a fishing trip with our friends Bernard and Jenny. I didn't travel out of state, but hey, I've never been to Port Sulfur...so mission accomplished (halfway)!
Ryan picked me up from school on Friday and we made the trek down south that afternoon/evening. We made a pit stop on the Westbank for some groceries and looky, looky what I found! Kalik is the Bahamian beer that my family loves to have when we are in the Bahamas every summer. It is so hard to find it here in the States, so I was thrilled to find it in New Orleans! We picked up a few six packs to bring home to Mom, Dad, Chip, and Jen.
Side note: all of these pictures are from my phone because I didn't want to take my big camera on the boat.
We made it to Port Sulfur Friday night and loved catching up with Bernard and Jenny. The fishing camp that we stayed at was so awesome! I'll definitely be requesting another trip soon! I didn't take pictures of the camp, but these are some pictures of our early morning fishing trip. Our boat ended up catching 15 redfish and 4 speckled trouts. We're gonna be grilling some redfish this weekend and I'll be making some kind of redfish dish for R's birthday next week.
After our awesome day on the water, we cleaned up and headed into New Orleans to meet up with Angele, Danielle, and Aunt June. We love spending time with them and this trip didn't disappoint. Ok, maybe it did in some ways, but we all had a fabulous time together and I even got to "Tiger Bait" a few Bama fans. Which, as Monday"s National Championship game played out, didn't help my LSU Tigers any. Whatev....
New Orleans was INSANE with BCS fans and the typical crazy folk. We found a nice perch at "Howl at the Moon" piano bar and really enjoyed ourselves. Some more than others.
Sunday was spent on the road headed home to start my first "full" week back at school from Christmas break. Is this school year really halfway over? Dang.
