The Hot Light Is On! - Krispy Kreme Doughnuts - Pearland Texas


 If you are paying any attention to my posts about our trip to Houston this past weekend you might get the impression that all we did was eat. I can see why you may think that, honestly, because all I have been blogging about this week so far are restaurants. I normally don't write that many restaurant reviews unless the food and service are top shelf. I have to brag a bit on all the places that we ate in the Houston area because we had some great experiences at all of them.

On the morning of the Dolphins / Texans game we actually traveled are fair distance because everyone was craving Krispy Kreme doughnuts. The closest one to us was in nearby Pearland so we jumped in the family truckster and made tracks.

There is just something magical about a fresh doughnut that melts in your mouth and Krispy Kreme has built a food empire on providing their customers just that. Each location has an in-house doughnut factory where the food comes straight out of the oven and right into the box. You just have to make sure that the signature 'Hot Light' is lit and you can be assured that the food you are about to eat is as hot and fresh as it can be.

I have to say that the employees at the location in Pearland were nothing short of amazing. The wouldn't stop giving us free stuff! Our son-in-laws iced coffee drink took a few minutes extra to make and the gave us a free coffee mug and hat. The made too many iced coffee drinks for another order and they kept giving them to us. I have never had that happen at any restaurant before.

Having a belly full of doughnuts and fancy coffee drinks had us amped up for the football game and all of it was simply delicious.

Abandoned Louisiana - The Pirate's Cove Water Park / Resort in Iowa

 About ten minutes east of the city of Lake Charles are the remains of an abandoned water park . The decaying structures are clearly visible from the busy I-10 freeway and for years drivers have wondered about it's history and why it was left for dead.   The Pirate's Cove Water Park actually has a rather interesting story behind it. A story that has been repeated over and over again, unfortunately, here in Louisiana. It's just another example of how government bureaucracy in this state killed an enterprise before it could ever get off the ground. Construction on the park began in 2008 and it was scheduled to open sometime in 2010. The sprawling complex was envisioned as an oasis from the hot summer heat that would feature luxurious amenities like a 900 foot long lazy river, a giant splash pad for the kids and eventually a five star hotel. The Pirate's Cove would have been an obvious tourist destination that could have brought much needed tax dollars and employment oppo...

Abandoned Louisiana - The Old Hightower Family Home in Dodson

I have to admit that I have been hanging on to these photos for a couple of months now just looking for the right minute to post them. Back in November I was traveling up to El Dorado, Arkansas and I passed through the small town of Dodson. While driving through town my eyes spotted a very attractive old house up on a hill and I just had to stop and take a few photos of it. I honestly don't know the history of this house, but I'm sure some local will send me message telling me all about it (and someone did see the UPDATE ), and it's not as cool as an abandoned railroad locomotive or old movie house but it really spoke to me. I have to wonder about the people who used to live in it and how it ended up in the state it is now. Anyone can see that it was a beautiful house long ago. What happened? How did such a grand residence end up like this? Those are questions that I can't answer unfortunately.  Unfortunately a site like this isn't all that uncommon here in Louisian...
