7pm- Pei Wei with the Somos

Monday:

7am- Depart for Shreveport
10:15am- Jared's Fantasy Football Draft with college friends

Needless to say, there were only 2 meals that we didn't have some plans with other folks.  It was completely insane and very enjoyable.  I ended up getting sick- just a head cold- on Monday morning.  I am starting to feel better, though.

I took some photos of a few things... I wish I had taken more, but my brain was fried from all the amazing food, fun, and lack of sleep!

Quite possibly the best breakfast tacos I've ever eaten...

Jared's "short stack" of pancakes... they leave out the minor detail that it's a short stack of pancakes bigger than your head.

Jess & Andy got "biscuit and gravy," as in one biscuit.  Again, they fail to mention that the biscuit is the size of half a loaf of bread.

Bowling with the Regans!

Our awesome glow-in-the-dark bowling bracelets...

One of the "mariachis" who sang "Margaritaville" to us at lunch on Sunday with the Johnstons.

The other "mariachi."  I really wish they had been wearing traditional mariachi attire.
