My apologies, I let my depression get the best of me when I should have used this to get me through it. We spent two days at the Landry Vineyards near West Monroe, Louisiana. While it was a beautiful setting, it was hot, humid, and without any breeze. We drove through a major thunderstorm on our way in with crosswinds buffeting the RV on I-20 just before we arrived. It was still raining as we pulled in but cleared by the time we got set up. Lynn had a wine tasting board and I had a glass of wine that afternoon. Next day Lynn's niece came by to visit with a handful of kids and the vineyard had live music that afternoon. I didn't get any pictures but there are plenty available online.
Next morning we were off again and headed for the gulf coast. We booked four days at Fontainebleau state park just outside of Slidell, Louisiana. The idea was to spend some time on or by the water. Unfortunately the water was in the day use area and not near the RV campground. We kept it simple and broke camp a few times to cruise around the area but it wasn't enough.
This morning we broke camp and drove to a beachfront RV campsite at the Silver Slipper Casino in Waveland, Mississippi. We had scheduled this as a stop on our little winter escape back in January this year but had to bypass it due to weather conditions. Now that we are here, Lynn has decided to make this spot a destination of its own. We spent a little time on the beach with the boys, then came back to the RV for a bite of lunch and an afternoon nap. Some part of this was enough to break through my funk and get this post up.
We're heading back homeward tomorrow, spending a couple days in Winnsboro with family and hopefully home by Sunday afternoon. I'll write some more soon. Till then, Cheers!
