SUNDAY-DAY OFF







up and oon our way by 9am this morning...the plan was to go to another national park..then go into new orleans..and we did it...the national park was most interesting and the movie we watch there was good and tony and lar sang thru the whole thing...when there was music the words were on the screen so they just sang along..didn't take the time to hike one of the trails as we wanted to go into new orleans and thought we run out of time (which we did)...






then on to the navy base so tony could buy some red dog (beer) ( he is retired air force) and can get onto all the bases also camp at them if they have a fam-camp...after the red dog was in the car it was time to continue the adventure...
so on to the ferry that goes across the MISSISSIPPI RIVER to new orleans only costs 1.00 per each car not per person for both ways...so away we went to find a parking space..finally we found one and it was time for coffee and bignets (fancy donut)at cafe demound (a famous place in new orleans)..after the coffee it was time to walk around for awhile which we did...and of course a visit to the national park in the city...there are two and one of them was closed today..go figure on the weekend for a national park to be closed..so we missed that stamp...
so this weekend we got three....the start of getting stamps has begun...caroline has many more stamps than i do so she and tony are giving us pointers as to where we can get the most...and which national parks and near each other and easy to get to..
tomorrow will be the second week of work here then we move on ...our plan is to go to grand isle a state park not to far from here on the coast here in lousiana for 5 days then make our way to austin...not sure if we will have wi-afi at the park so don't worry if there is nothing posted after sat...hope to get alot done this week enjoy your week...
