Roadtrip: Day 4: Dallas, TX to Baton Rouge, LA

We packed up the car and and drove from Dallas to Baton Rouge. It was a long and boring drive, but we made it by watching movies and playing games. Eventually, we did make it to Baton Rouge though.

Dinner: The Chimes Highland
3357 Highland Rd, Baton Rouge, LA
They are located pretty close to LSU so I'm sure it can get pretty rowdy during game days, but since we were there during the summer, it wasn't crazy at all. We got alligator, hush puppies, and crawfish etouffee. Everything was very good. They have some great options here. Plus, they have a pretty good kids menu so it's definitely family-friendly.

Dessert: Insomnia Cookies
It's located right around the corner from The Chimes Highland
I know this is a chain company, but we just really wanted some cookies! They're all so delicious. It is a little on the pricier side for just a cookie, but they're just so darn good.

Hotel: Holiday Inn Express
400 North Boulevard, Baton Rouge, LA
This was a really nice hotel. We enjoyed it a lot. The only downside was that our room was right next to the breakfast area so it was kind of loud in the morning. Also, the only parking they offer is valet. It was $16/night.

It was a long day, but we ended up not doing anything super exciting while we were in Baton Rouge. I'm sure it has more to offer than what we did, but were more excited to get on our way to New Orleans the next day.
