When in #lakecharles do check out the @laubergelc or better yet get in on the action at one of those swanky VIP suites 🥰 I thought the pool was the highlight and then they ushered us into the suites where that welcoming tub almost had me secretly staying back 😉 But then we chanced upon their newest dining hotspot Daiquiris and Dogs and that king cake potion sure did a number on me…in a good way of course 😈 Love the mural by local artist @jeremypriceart symbolizing the strength of the community after two hurricanes that you’ll see at the very entrance💕 . . . . . #VisitLakeCharles #LouisianasPlayground #SWLAMardiGras #getdownlc #SATW #travelmagazine #travelwebsite #magazinepublisher #NATJA #awardwinning #traveljournalist #travelerandtourist (at Lake Charles, Louisiana) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ca3Y26KFg9o/?utm_medium=tumblr

Ended up learning a lot more about zydeco history and Cajun music on the trip to @visitlakecharles 💕 the fabulous @officialcreoletouch and @harold.guillory.7 teamed up with friends and family to play us some tunes and teach us some steps 🙌🏾 Looking forward to going back some day and learning more 🙂 the music’s certainly catchy and the world can do with a south Asian zydeco dancer me thinks 😂 . . . . . #VisitLakeCharles #LouisianasPlayground #SWLAMardiGras #getdownlc #SATW #travelmagazine #travelwebsite #magazinepublisher #NATJA #awardwinning #traveljournalist #travelerandtourist (at Lake Charles, Louisiana) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ca1CHm5rtBZ/?utm_medium=tumblr

They serious about their crawfish here in #lakecharles as they are about their jalapeño tots and seafood gumbo 🙂 Might take a few minutes to get used to working on that crawfish but it’s a meal well-earned after you’ve got all the shell off 👍🏽 Not easy to do for a first timer and certainly no way to do it without somewhat of a mess so I just dug right in 🙌🏾 . . . . . #VisitLakeCharles #LouisianasPlayground #SWLAMardiGras #getdownlc #SATW #travelmagazine #travelwebsite #magazinepublisher #NATJA #awardwinning #traveljournalist #travelerandtourist (at Lake Charles, Louisiana) https://www.instagram.com/p/Caskx0MvyXk/?utm_medium=tumblr

👋 Make sure you stop first at the Creole Nature Trail Adventure Point when you #VisitLakeCharles to learn more about the nature and culture you will experience here 🙂 The trail itself is located in Sulphur and takes the better part of the day to do so the venue gives you a good idea of what to expect 👍🏽 (I didn’t do the trail though cos I had a zydeco dance lesson to head to 🥰) Remember to practice your #cajunfrench before you head over for sure - you gonna need it!! Allons! . . . . . #LouisianasPlayground #SWLAMardiGras #getdownlc #SATW #travelmagazine #travelwebsite #magazinepublisher #NATJA #awardwinning #traveljournalist #travelerandtourist (at Creole Nature Trail Adventure Point) https://www.instagram.com/p/CapdESPuj_r/?utm_medium=tumblr

Charbroiled oysters! 🙌🏾🙌🏾 The star of the night in this seafood starring welcome dinner in @dragosrestaurant at @laubergelc 💕 oozing all the right flavors to delight in! You couldn’t go wrong with ordering anything on the menu here but we went all out on some of the shrimp dishes including a spicy gumbo and the saucy Fleur de lis preparation 👍🏽 Don’t know that plain oysters going to cut it for me anymore 🤷🏽‍♀️ . . . . . #VisitLakeCharles #LouisianasPlayground #SWLAMardiGras #getdownlc #SATW #travelmagazine #travelwebsite #magazinepublisher #NATJA #awardwinning #traveljournalist #travelerandtourist @visitlakecharles (at Lake Charles, Louisiana) https://www.instagram.com/p/CapHh0QuB-a/?utm_medium=tumblr
