February 2-5, 2015 Breaux Bridge, LA

Breaux Bridge, Louisiana is one of the towns we will return to.  
We stayed at a campground called Poches RV .


This was a small restaurant in Breaux Bridge.
It was our first real Cajun food and it was 
GREAT

crawfish pie, boudin balls, corn and crawfish, shrimp etoufee
gator bites, and catfish.

fried bread pudding with rum butter sauce











Then came the tour of Tabasco.  We toured the plant and the museum.  We also took a Tabasco food tour.  If you ever stop here for the Tabasco tour you have to take the 
food tour and ask for George!  He did a great job of telling stories about the culture and the food!!



Left overs.  I have never cleaned my own crawfish!

Chicken and seafood gumbo with potato salad and rice
All new all Good

We had pecan rice here.  We had never had that before.
We had onion soup here.  It didn't photograph well but
tasted great.  Check out here cakes on her web site.

We had the best bread pudding here.  I am not
sure why I didn't get a photo.

Boudin and cracklin, it is nothing like pork rinds

We are now in Houston, TX.  I didn't take any photos here.  We did a lot of running to fix the moving leak under the bus.

Tomorrow we will be in Austin.  I can't wait to see the boys.  We are thinking about taking each one on a day with the grandparents.  Can't wait!!

January 29 to February 2, 2015 New Orleans, LA

We came back to New Orleans this year and took a few more days to walk the town and eat the wonderful food.





 We drove from our campground to the ferry.  It was great to see the city from the water.




And this is how we started the morning.










A couple of great dinners.

I love the streets of this town.
So much culture and character.


















Now we are of to Breaux Bridge, LA.  We have a food tour booked and plan on touring the Tabasco plant.  
The weather here has been a little chilly, but when I look at the weather back home, this is not bad.

January 23 to 29, 2015 Gulf Shores, Alabama

This will always be one of our favorite stops.  My dad and step mom brought us here after Athena's wedding a couple of years ago.  Gulf Shores State park is beautiful.  
While we were here we got to spend a couple of days with Dave, Bobbi and Fenway.  We met them on our Alaska trip.  We had lunch with them one day and then salmon at their place the next.  The best part of this life-style is meeting up with people that we have met during our travels.
Dave put together a great web site full of pictures from Alaska and their trip to and from Alaska.  If you want to see some fantastic photos check out his site at Cape Cod to Alaska 2014.  

We seen a lot of birds, but the pelican is my favorite.






And then there are those beautiful sunsets.
No one does it like Gulf Shores!



So now we are in New Orleans till February 3rd.
Then we want to stop by Avery Island and tour the Tabasco sauce region.

January 19, 2015 Cedar Key, Florida

Cedar Key is one quaint little town.  There were two main streets.  One of the streets is on the water front.  The pelicans hung around like the seals in California.  







This was a stop on our way back from Cedar Key.






We left Cedar Key on January 21st and headed to NAS Pensacola. It was a great famcamp. We will stop by there again and stay longer.  
Next stop Gulf Shores, Alabama.



January 15, 2015 North Fort Meyers, Florida

We stopped by North Fort Meyers, FL to visit with our Blue Water RV group.  We also stopped by the Edison Ford homes in Florida.  The grounds were beautiful.  We took a guided tour to learn more and it was worth the money.  For some reason I didn't bring my camera so all the pictures were taken with my phone.










After a short visit we are off to Cedar Key, FL.

Finishing December 2014

This is how we spent Christmas.  Yes it all revolved around Ember Renee.  No matter where we were she was always happy, other than at Aunt Mary's.  It was a Christmas filled with all kinds of fun. 















I will be flying home in March to spend time with this little sweetie.  

After spending time with family on Anna Maria Island in the beginning of 2015 we headed for General RV in Dover to get some work done on the RV.  After that, we headed to North Fort Meyers to spend time with the Blue Water RV'ers from Michigan.
As of today Monday, January 19th we are camped in Cedar Key, FL and heading to see the grandsons in Texas.
Stay healthy and stay tuned for our 2015 updates.  We have lots of new stops planned for this year and more friends to visit.
