Landon's post-rootbeer face
We were searching for a place to eat lunch in downtown Baton Rouge when we drove by this place with a giant rootbeer mug out front. We decided we needed to go there for lunch. We had poboys and rootbeer and everything was yummy. The rootbeer was pretty sweet, but had a little bite at the end that made it just delicious. The mugs started out frosty from the freezer and you could take your mug to the counter at any time for refills. They had the rootbeer on the soda fountain machine but you could tell it was homemade. I had the catfish poboy and it was so much better than the shrimp poboy I had! It was spicy and crispy and the bread was not too thick. The furnishings were shabby and it could be described as a hole in the wall, but it was very busy the whole time we were there. 
Yummy rootbeer

Thanks, Frostop, for the rootbeer

A Mommy's International Flight essentials

By -

My carry-on bag for international flights is my diaper backpack. I set aside some room for diapers, wipes,  snacks, and an extra outfit for my toddler, and use the remaining space to bring a few things for myself on board. Here are my favorite essentials to bring on a LONG flight: - Individually wrapped (or a small package) of antibacterial hand wipes. I picked this up by reading other travel blogs. I wipe down every surface around our seat that my toddler to conceivably touch or lick. For super long flights, a little peace of mind goes a long way. - Ibuprofen, homeopathic motion sickness meds and dramamine : headaches happen. Occasionally with turbulence I get motion sick. I start with the homeopathic motion sickness meds and if they don't work, dramamine will do the trick! - Children's tylenol and Peace and Calming essential oil: These are for my son for his ears (tylenol) and to help him fall asleep after the initial excitement wears off from being on an airplane. ...

Venturing into Jamnagar

By -

At Reliance, we are 35-40 minutes drive away from the Jamnagar city proper. Fortunately, Austin has a driver that takes the workers to and from the refinery in the morning and evening. During the day, he hangs out in Reliance Greens waiting to take the workers. So, we asked him if he could take us into Jamnagar. He lives on the outskirts of Jamnagar, but was more than happy to drive us into town and show us around.  The trucks here are painted with all sorts of cool and colorful patterns, like this! Thanks, Mr. Khan, for taking our picture! Cows by the lake On the way into town, we passed by many different kinds of buildings and houses. Some were living in hotels that looked like well built structures. Some were in cement walled houses with tarp roofs. Others were in leantos that were all built next to each other with dirt floors and laundry hanging everywhere. I watched ladies washing clothing in the dirty river. I saw two little kids playing unsupervised near the...

Landon update

 Landon has changed so much since we came out here to Korea. He has morphed into a full-blown toddler! The latest word from Austin's work is that our release date is moving closer to August due to some delays at the refinery. At any rate, here are some things Landon is doing lately: Talking in small sentences/long phrases. He says things like "I swing!" and "baseball bat". It seems he learns new words every day, and really practicing his new words. When he says "beach" it sounds a lot like the "B" word, and he yells it whenever he sees sand or pictures of water, so good thing we are in Korea and they can't understand what he's saying! Counting to 1, and sometimes 2. He is also learning the power of negotiation in that he will come up to me with a candy or treat that he found in the snacks and say, "Bun Candy! Bun Candy!" That means "one candy".  Learning colors! He thinks everything is pink right now,...
