Abita Mystery House, Abita Springs, Louisiana
I could've made 3 separate posts of all my pics but this is the gist. Go see the Abita Mystery House. You won't regret it. It's only a few miles from Covington and not all that far from NOLA.

When in Louisiana......
We met up at DiMartino's Restaurant, in Covington.
We HAD to get muffulettas! They are SO GOOD! I wish they sold muffuletta bread at home. We'd eaten here the last time too.
Quick photo shoot with our babies before she had to head home, as the weather was getting worse with every minute!
After lunch, Russell took me to the Abita Mystery House (separate post after this one), and then to the Covington Cafe du Monde, since there was no way I was going to the one in NOLA. I was stoked that this opened! I FINALLY got to try their famous beignets!
These are served fresh and piping hot and oh my god are they good. When they are hot. Still being full from lunch I only had about one and a half on the 90 minute drive back to Biloxi. Once we got up to the room and I realized there was no microwave in the room, they were stone cold and hard as rocks. Eating them fresh is definitely key with beignets.

Biloxi, Mississippi
Fun fact: The last time we were down here in 2021, we were both trying to be conscious of the poles behind the truck as Russell was backing out, that neither of us noticed the pink pole in the front as he was cutting the wheel! We heard the 'crunch' sound and were chagrined to find a big old dent in the front, with streaks of pink paint! Ever since then, the truck has been dubbed 'Pinky von Dent'. I had to take a pic of a pink pole for old time's sake!
It was still pouring so we just drove around. We went to a thrift shop, and then down to an indoor flea market that had so much cool stuff that we were in there for awhile! This is the companion souvenir shop down the street from Sharkheads.
