Baton Rouge Is GRRRRRRREAT!

To be honest Baton Rouge wasn't on our must see city list, but it turned out to be worth the trip!  We visited the tallest state capitol building in the country, won a little gas money with Free Play at a nearby casino and rode our bikes around the LSU campus to see the extremely active Mike the Tiger!

The Louisiana State Capitol
This building has 34 stories & is 450 feet tall

We learned that Senator Huey Long, the man who's dream it was to construct
this building, would be assassinated inside only a few years later

When we saw how close the casino was...we couldn't resist
