Tahoe Tuesday!

Hi everybody! I've had a pretty exciting week around here. I got to see a frog first of all. It was little and green. It was pretty interesting and hopped really far.

I also realized that my whole body fills up the sink now. I'm glad I still fit in the sink because it's really comfortable to sleep in. It's just crazy that I used to sleep in this exact same sink and not fill it up like I do now.

Did you know that I love treats? Who doesn't right? These are my favorite kind. Sometimes I hide under the couch and Matt or Michelle call me to come out. I never come when they call me because if I wait they will shake this bag and I immediately come running! I then get a treat and think how smart I am that I waited for them to shake the bag.

Lastly I was on the computer this week and got really tired. I just work so hard that I need to take about 10 naps per day.

I hope you have a great week and I'll see you next time!

New Orleans

Oh New Orleans how I love you! There's just something about this city that is fascinating to me. Maybe it's the food, maybe it's the history, or the style but this is one of my favorite cities.

We stayed at Bayou Segnette State Park which was about 12 miles south of the French Quarter. It was an amazing park and I recommend it to anyone going to New Orleans with an RV. The campground has water and electric, huge pretty sites and is $20 which is about as cheap as you can get for New Orleans.

Now, let's take a moment in this post to talk about all the food we enjoyed in New Orleans! Matt and I are huge cajun food fans so obviously we were in heaven in this city.

We ate beignets (twice)-

PoBoys and Crawfish Etouffee at Mother's-

A crawfish platter at Ralph and Kacoos-

Drank a Hurricane at Pat O'Briens-

After all that eating out, we decided to take advantage of all the seafood for sale and make our own food. We also had to buy a deep frier. That's right, we are the proud owners of a frier and will now try our best not to fry every meal!

Here's our cajun feast we shared with our friends Jim and Peri, check out their blog here!-

Sorry little crawfish, you don't stand a chance down here, you taste too good not to eat!

My favorite neighborhood I've ever explored is now The Garden District in New Orleans. It it full of beautiful old southern homes that transport you back in time.

Here's one of the famous New Orleans cemeteries in the Garden District. We toured around it in the pouring rain. It was so facsinating to see graves dating back to the 1800's, some went back as far as the 1700's.

I love this city and will be back again hopefully many times in my lifetime!

Vicksburg and Natchez Mississippi

We all enjoyed a drive through the Vicksburg Battlefield, we even towed the Airstream through the park!

We left Duck Commander in West Monroe and drove over to Vicksburg. We spent a few hours exploring the battlefield then drove to Natchez Mississippi where we boondocked for the night at the visitors center.

Vicksburg is very interesting and brings a part of the Civil War to life as you drive through the Confederate and Union lines.

We arrived to the Natchez Visitors Center right about sunset and watched the sun go down over the Mississippi River.

We woke up the next morning and walked from the visitor's center over to downtown Natchez. It was a cute and historic southern town.

This is the William Johnson House which we toured. William Johnson was the son of a slave who's father was the plantation owner. Being half black and half white he grew up not as a slave but as the son of the plantation owner. He became a barber and owned every barber shop in Natchez at one time. 

There are many Antebellum Homes in and near Natchez. We saw a few from the outside. We learned that in the mid 1800's there were 26 millionaires in the entire US, and 17 were living in Natchez. They were all cotton growers. Their homes are still here today for people to tour.

After our morning in Natchez we drove to New Orleans! More on our time in New Orleans soon!

Tahoe Tuesday

Hi Everybody!

I've been getting very good at riding in the car! I've got two favorite places to ride. The first is on the tool bag right behind the center console. I'm pretty sleepy in this photo-

And I also sleep in the backseat on a pillow, the other day I was passed out and so comfortable-

I like riding in the car when I'm tired so I can enjoy a nice nap while the rolling of the wheels lulls me to sleep.

I hope you have a great spring day where ever you are!
