Baton Rouge trip

Mike and I won a free trip to Baton Rouge to stay at their new Casino, La'Auberge at a charity event we attended last year so we recently decided to cash it in. It was a nice couple of days away from the kiddos and some much needed Mommy and Daddy time. Included in the trip was a free $200 dinner at their very nice steakhouse and a couples massage. The dinner was absolutely amazing, but unfortunately we were unable to partake in the couples massage because I fell ill the night before and we ended up leaving early the next day. Even though we didn't win big (or win anything at all ;-)), we had a great time. The highlight of the trip was a swamp tour we took on an air-boat. Our boat captain happen to be the Louisiana alligator wrestling champ so he happily got in the water with the wild gators and played with them. Needless to say it was extremely entertaining and we even held a baby alligator. We hope to go back with the boys someday because that tour was definitely something James would enjoy.
