Vacation Home: Mammy and Paw Paw's

We had a great time at my Mom and Dad's while we were home. As soon as I arrived, Mom had seafood gumbo and boiled crabs waiting for me. Then the next day, Dad, Lindsey and I took the kids to get Po Boys and oysters---I was determined to get as much seafood in as possible!

PawPaw's Little Men

I was glad to hang out with my sister Lindsey, too.
She's a good drinking buddy (even though I would crash at 10:30pm--sorry!!)

CHEERS!! Home Sweet Home!!

On Friday--we had our 2nd Annual Shrimp Fest. We tried to make it more political this year and let everyone vote for their top three favorite shrimp dishes. And as with EVERY election, ours also had a bit of 'controversy'--Paw Paw tried to fix the results in his favor :-)
The top three served (and one alternate per PawPaw's request) were: BBQ Shrimp, Blackened Shrimp, Fried Shrimp, and Shrimp and Corn Soup. Here's Mom with the 5 loaves of French Bread for all the shrimp dishes--we are very much CARBOHOLICS!!

OK--I know that I favor my father's appearance--but I swear my Mom and I don't even look related!!
