I am currently in the car, on our way back home, to San Antonio, Texas. Here are the pictures from gator park :)
For a 13 year old girl, I would say I take pretty good pictures.

Leaving Lousiana....
Gooood Morning _________ Family! (jk)
Yeah, I used to watch ABC's Extreme Home Makeover. But then every story sort of seemed the same to me, and I stopped. ANYWAYS, we're leaving Lousiana! Leesville, to be exact.I keep misspelling Louisiana. I want to spell it "Lousiana" but spell check comes along and reminds me, "No, you stupid child, it's LOUISIANA." But yeah, we were visiting relatives, as my brother in the military is stationed here. Actually, he's stationed in Fort Polk, but Leesville is as close as we can get.
We stayed in Best Western in Leesville, which is surprisingly nice. I mean, for such a small town, it's really nice. There's a nice sized continental breakfast. there's a LOT of different foods in it :) If you are traveling by car, or driving there though, let me say, the roads in Louisiana are CRAP! They are HORRIBLE!!!! Ridiculously bumpy!!
To-day, we went to the Alligator Park (in Natchitoches)! :D It was pretty awesome. They have a bunch of alligators all throughout the park (behind very secure fences and such, don't worry). For 7$ you can hold a baby alligator (with its mouth taped shut) and have your picture taken with it. The poor thing looked unhappy but I guess they gotta make money somehow =/There's also a show there where they hang raw chicken over the edge of a boat in a lake filled with gators and the gators come up and snap it up. It's pretty neat to watch.
Before you leave, there's a snack bar that serves cooked alligator near the gift shop. I didn't have any, but from what I hear, it taste like chicken. o.oSpeaking of food, we didn't eat out much, but if you go anywhere in Louisiana, you HAVE to eat some Cajun Fries. I'm not one for spicy food, but these were DELICIOUS. they weren't spicy unless you ate a bunch without ketchup :)
There really isn't much to do in the small town of Leesville, or anywhere within an hour drive, so if you want to go vacation somewhere, it's not exactly on my list of recommendations. Unless, of course, you want to learn about the military.
Pictures later-When I have the time! (on the car ride home today XD) I'll post soon! But until then, See ya later, alligator! (haha-get it, see ya later, alligator? Cause I went to a gator park? haha. yeah... never mind....)~

Welcome to Louisiana!
Hello! I'm Sammie, and I travel a lot (as you MAY have noticed by the title). I JUST turned 13 (yesterday was my birthday, thank you), and am currently in Louisiana. My Dad and mom LOVE road trips (but they don't take them together-they're divorced). I'll generally post pictures from my trip about where we went and what we did :) Hope to see some people on the site soon! :D
