Louisiana

I'm sorry, but I am just having a TERRIBLE time keeping this Blog up to date.  We are just too busy AND having too much fun! 

April 29th we moved 262 miles on down the road and into Broussard, LA. for a stay at Maxie’s Campground. While there, we had hot humid weather, drizzle, thunderstorm, rain, and absolutely BEAUTIFUL weather.  All in 6 nights!! First full day there we went to the Music & Art Festival where it DRIZZLED the whole time.                         
Later that evening we went to dinner at Randol’s Restaurant & Cajun Dance Hall.  Food and music were GREAT!! Just check out the food!!!

Rich's Ribeye steak

As I have stated before, I SWEAR, all we do is EAT!!!!

The next day we went to Avery Island and toured the Tabasco Factory and, of course, the gift shop. Then we drove through the 170 acre Jungle Garden where I saw my first real live alligator!

It WAS in the water, but when I pulled out my camera, it came ashore!

Our last day in Louisiana, the weather was PERFECT, and we took a 2 hr swamp tour. It was INCREDIBLE!!!
