Laissez Les Bons Temps Rouler! -#108

We have just over a month left until we leave our Mississippi home; hard to believe we’ve been here 4+ months!  Our three years of winter camping have been a dream come true! Hoping we have many more years to enjoy this lifestyle! 

This year we tried some new activities we really enjoyed!

-Visit to New Orleans -  Though very close to us          (about 40 miles) we generally just don’t enjoy cities, crowds.  However, it was great to join new friends we made this year on a day trip to the French Quarter.  The architecture is amazing and you can’t beat the beignets and jazz!




-Driftwood Craft Projects- I’m a sucker for working on a project I really enjoy! I wound up making three of these and currently working on a fourth for inside the trailer. ( others I made for gifts and one for home)




-Candlelight Concert - This had been on my list of things to do; it was wonderful when our campground hosts not only arranged for this wonderful event but this quartet covered Beatles music as well! A beautiful and memorable experience!


-Painting Classes - At home, Charlie and I enjoy painting at our local library so we were thrilled that one of the libraries in Hancock county offered adult painting as well! 




-Charlie’s Anoles - It’s not a typo. Anoles are lizards or chameleons. There are two or three living in Charlie’s tent for the past several months. They have gotten used to him and apparently enjoy listening to him practice his keyboard. As a bonus, they eat mosquitoes and noseeums and keep the tent bug free!



There are many other things we’ve done like trying new restaurants, visiting museums, really enjoying our time with the grands, checking out new casinos… but probably one of the best parts of camping is meeting new people! We love the friends we’ve made in previous years but it’s always wonderful meeting new people, spending time, talking about our lives and experiences. Life is good.
