Last Dave Matthews Band trip

Pat and Lisa took off for the final DMB shows of the year, at The Woodlands, TX on Friday night and the fairgrounds in Dallas on Saturday night. We stopped off in Covington, LA for a couple nights. We can't pronounce any of the street names around here. For dinner, we ate at Mandina's We each had the Grilled Speckled Trout Almondine. It was good. For desert we had Bananas Foster Bread Pudding with a scoop of ice cream on top. If the Champlins lived in Covington they might get fat.

We were watching the news from a New Orleans station tonight. They were talking about the Mississippi Rebels game with Tulane this weekend. The female newscaster said Tulane should cheer "beat the nut". She was kind of goofy.

Here are some pictures taken on Lakeshore Drive in Mandeville, on the north shore of Lake Ponchatrain. There are quite a few of these houses across the street from the lake. Some huge oak trees too.
