Has their quality imporoved? I have not been in a few years after back 2 back lunches with very average food.
About 10 years back I was at Attakapas landing and a 16ft bateau with a tiller handle putt putted down that canal with an old married couple, two beagles, and a big ole' coon on the bow like George Washington crossing the Delaware. :lol:
She will be fine at Tony's. They almost always have cops/security guards in the parking lot. Never had any issues.


Just tell her not to stop anywhere else within a couple of miles of Tony's :lol:
1.5 or less is perfect IMHO.
Driving 3 hours each way and then cleaning salt of the boat is not worth it to me.
Damn that thing is pretty serious! Hope you have a big ole' pican tree in the yard to keep that thing going.

Make sure you see Fern Canyon (where they filmed Ewok) scenes in the OG Star Wars.

On road trips stop at rest areas and let them ride a bike or run around. Lots of states have big rest areas with lots of trees and areas to run and play.

Make room for a scooter, bike, glider bike in your car. It will be worth it to tire them out make them happy.
I-12 from Slidell to Baton Rouge is pretty bad. Almost always really bad wrecks. People drive like crackheads.

Traverse City, Petoskey are is all really nice. Can be pricey and may be booked up.

Don't sleep on Tawas/Oscoda/Harrisville/Alpena on the other side of the State.

Also, northern michigan had really bad flooding this spring research where you are going to make sure that didn't impact your visiting.

Painful weekend listening to LSU baseball. Time for a good beer and cigar.
Aluminum boat that is all welded no rivets. Four stroke motor is a must. Yamaha or Mercury would be my pick.

G3 and xpress are good.
Walk to Jackson Square and see the city wake up. Go to Cafe beignet on Royal Street.
Best dog I have ever had was a blue healer. So smart.

For a guard dog her Pyrenees mix. No ONE will come in your house without them letting you know.
NOLA
Stay in the CBD and ride the streetcars to uptown and explore magazine area. Go to the zoo if that is your thing.

And head into the QTR. Horse drawn tours are a good experience. Get a good cocktail and ride around seeing the city.

Around the lakes by campus. But not between Daryample and Highland. Mid City south of North Blvd. Old Goodwood and Broadmoor will all be fine.

Garden District and Mid City are the closest areas by campus with good food/coffee shops ect.

If the graduation is at LSP HQ then Broadmoor is right there. If it is at JESTC then you will be driving no matter where you stay.
Thank you for posting. I was curious myself!

Wish I was suprised a little that they failed.... but I am not.

Our State literally does not care about natural resources at all. Look at the bill protecting people from "eminent domain" for carbon capture that just failed as well :wah:
