Shreveport 2011

Last weekend flew down to Shreveport, LA to visit my nephew and his family(got to bed at 4am on Fri morn from HP celebrating and had to get up 1hr and 45 min later to catch my flight). That night we ate at Herby K's--I had a shrimp po'boy(sandwich) which was delicious and I got brave and tried some catfish--I was pleasantly surprised that it almost melted in my mouth and not fishy tasting(at least how they cook it here)!And later that night I also tried some hummus---not something that got me hooked on it---but I think if I ate it enough my tastebuds would get used to it. Later on, Rachel and I went to HP 7.2---she wanted to see it and I usually see the HP movies 3 or 4 times anyways. It was excellent again(and eyes teared up again)! It was a late night movie & I was still sleep deprived from the night before of no sleep, so I slept in late automatically that next morn! In the late afternoon, we took Diana to bowl for real(she has only done it on Wii)--I think she still prefers Wii(since much easier), but now she has had an authentic bowling experience! And on our way out I couldn't pass up a chance to play air hockey(my fave game)! Another fun thing we did was learn a new UNO game---UNO Spin--if the card you put down or pick has "spin" marks around the number, then you have to spin the spinner which can have you trade hands, put down multiple cards, etc---so game can change drastically with one spin! Plus we were able to just sit around, relax and chat in their new home(and enjoy AC)! I flew directly into Shreveport this time(with one stop along the way) so I didn't have to rent a car and drive 3 hrs to get to their place---so glad I did that(usually flew into Dallas cuz 'Netta lived there, then drove to LA--after Netta moved thought cheaper to still fly into Dallas but after renting car, it wasn't). Shreveport has small airport--on my way home, I arrived at Shreveport airport to catch my flight 3o min before take-off and only one person was in front of me in security! Anyway, I love to hang with my family members!
