From Lafayette, La
We left home Saturday morning about 7:30 and headed down US 69 toward Beaumont. After getting fuel at Loves, Donna jumped behind the wheel and said she would do the driving first. Ok with me!!
Uneventful drive to Beaumont and then on I-10 to the Louisanna welcome center, where we stopped for a break and to check for information. Thinking it was my time to drive, we headed back to the motorhome, but again Donna jumped behind the wheel, saying she wanted to keep driving. Again, ok with me!!
We arrived at Maxie's little park about 11:30 to find Molly standing in the driveway waving at us. Been a couple of months since we have seen she and Bob. How great to have such a welcome.
Other friends (old and new) were also there, so we said a quick hello, and started getting set up. Those there were Dennis & Carol, Denny and Susie, and Don and Sharon.
When we un-hooked the little white truck, we found that it would not crank. Very little battery power is used while towing and, I have had a couple problems with starting since we returned from the last trip. So, Bob jumped me off, and I went to Wal-Mart for a new battery.
After doing some catching up Saturday afternoon, we all headed to Randoll's, a really nice restaurant in Lafayette. Great seafood and about the time we finished dinner, their band cranked up. That south Louisana Zedico Music is something really unique and great entertainment.
All of the group, except us and Bob & Molly left Sunday to go on over to Betty's. The four of us will be going on Monday. We did a lot of visiting and catching up Sunday morning then went to Don's Seafood Restaurant in downtown Lafayette for lunch. Don's is a famous seafood place, opening in 1934.
Sunday afternoon was more visiting and discussion of everyones future plans. A lot of folks will be going west to Arizona in January and February, and of course Bob and Molly will be Directors for the 2011 Escapade Rally in Gillette, WY in early September. But for right now, we have a great week planned at Betty's in Abbeyville.
We arrived at Betty's Monday morning and got all settled in for the week.
More Later....
