French Quarter finally,Steaks and Mugshots

Finally made it to the French Quarter found a place to park. Not sure if we can park there because the Loading Zone sign is stupid but what the hell.  Walked around for a bit taking in the sights. Oh boy..Lots of strange people here.




Of course we picked a day when there was no parades dammit. I din't think that was a possibility during Mardi Gras. Oh well. walked around checked out some stores. Of course had to hit a bar on Bourbon St for Bill to get a beer. We saw a guy scrubbing the sidewalk at on Bourbon St. I was going to ask him what he did for that punishment. Really Glad I didn't. Watching the news later on found out there was a shooting there at 3am so he was cleaning up the blood. EWWWW.. don't know if we will be back kinda scary.
After walking around for a couple of hrs. we finally found the truck. Of course there was a parking ticket on it. $30 fine but still cheaper than parking in a lot somewhere. LOL no biggie I'll just put a check in the mail tomorrow. Not the first time we've done that.
Drove to Mandeville to check out the meat market we passes yesterday.
Had to get some stteaks for Dinner tomorrow. What a great little store. Had everything including Wine and Liquor. Decide to look for the drinks that Kim wanted me to find.  Never thought I'd find them in this place but lo and behold after I asked if they had them of course they did.
I have looked in Liquor stores and Grocery stores and couldn't find them.. Got the pineapple one ..Kim wanted Strawberry so I will keep looking as we travel. I'm going to try one tonight so I'll let you know how they are.
Went to Mugshots for a late lunch. Bill loves their steak burger and I always get a patty melt which is ok but nothing else on the menu I wanted.
Then to Starbucks for a Carmel Macciato (Yummy).  Then Finally to a car wash to get he dirt off from Texas. The truck was filthy.
Back home to relax and watch and make reservations for the rest of the trip.
Have a great day.

    New Orleans is a fun place, but can be dangerous especially during Mardi Gras and night time.
    But lots of people to watch and some amazing music, good food as well.You can just buy your drink anywhere and and stroll down the street drinking it too.

Rainy Morning Oulet Mall

Well Friday started out rainy but turned into a nice afternoon. After breakfast we went to the campground store. This is another really nice campground. We enjoy it here every year. Really nice clubhouse. Three different sitting rooms with Tvs. Lot of books to trade and read. Play areas and a craft area for the kids. Pool is huge. Not open yet but we enjoyed it when Billy Anna and the kid were with us a couple of years ago. Diane and I decide it was a good day to leave the hubbies behind and go shopping. We've been wanting to do this for a while. Had a great time. Spent some money. LOL All on the grandkids of course and nothing for ourselves. Had lunch at subway. All in all it was a good shopping day. Back to the camper to rest for a bit and have dinner. Decided against a fire again tonight so played some Mexican Train. Diane can't get enough of it and they're leaving on Sunday so this might be the last game for awhile. I won one game and Larry won the ot

Florida here we come

Tuesday was a nothing day. Went to the store to pick up a few things for dinner,and the post office to mail the parking ticket. Had a nice Steak Dinner and got ready to move on. Wendesday was finally getting to Florida to see my big brothers and sister in laws. Went through Mississippi, Alabama then finally into Florida. It was a little bit longer drive then we like but couldn't really find any place to stay for the night. It was a very interesting drive through the panhabdle seein a lot of damage from Hurricane Michael. I'd much rather have a snow storm. The damage was unreal. Unfortunetly I didn't have my phone ready for pictures for the houses down and the rest area. The campground we wanted to go to was closed til at least Sept. because of the Hurricane. It was a nice travel day. First time since we left that I didn't have shoes and socks on. If you know me you know how much I love my flip flops. I think finally for our last month of traveling
