Well getting to the French Quarter takes a little over an hr and I hate going over the 24 mile causeway.

I am better than the first time. I hardly took a breath then and white knuckles all the way. Now at least I can breathe. We like the french Quarter but we have never been there for Mardi Gras and probably won't go again.
Way too many people and no where to park unless u have a ton of money. We drove around for quite a while and most of the parking lots were full and we didn't have any cash with us so we couldn't go to any of them. So we decide to come back tomorrow when hopefully it will be less busy. There are parades everywhere everyday all day so I'm sure we will catch one.
Back over the causeway and checked out Mandeville. Looking for a nice restaurant to go to Tues. with Michelle. We have never really driven around so it was nice. The weather was great. Sunny and high 60s.
We don't want to go back to Abita Springs for dinner been there quite a few times. Hopefully I'll find a place before Tuesday.
Got back to the camper about 3 just relaxed had dinner and TV for the night.
Tomorrow we will try the French Quarter again.
Have a great day

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

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
