Saturday we decided that we needed to take the Abita Brewery tour. This means we got to drink more beer! We took the first afternoon tour and for an hour we enjoyed the hospitality of Abita. When they let you in you get a wrist band and a go cup. The line fills up quickly and you can help yourself to all the beer you can drink.
You do have to listen to some of the history and take a tour but that takes about 10-15 minutes. I'm not sure who drank the most!
Sunday we packed up and left Fairview-Riverside SP. It sure is a beautiful area and you should stop if you're in the area.
Our destination was Kinder, Louisiana and the Red Shoes RV park at Coushatta Casino. Since arriving I've done laundry, laundry and more laundry! No sewer hook up at the state park.
On Monday Jim cleaned the bedroom and this morning he did the dishes, so we've both been working while here.
Yesterday we awoke to overcast skies and a little spitting rain, a front started coming through and we ended up putting on jeans and long sleeved shirts when we headed to the Casino for lunch. Jim had jambalaya with mac and cheese and slaw while I had a bowl of gumbo and some fried okra. We thoroughly enjoyed our Cajun treats! We then headed to Feather fuel to pay only $3.56 for diesel. Last stop was the Market Basket for a few groceries.
The temperature continued to drop all day and by the time we went to bed it was in the mid 50's. Over night it did drop to the mid 40's and when I got up shortly after 0700 it was 45 degrees outside and 56 degrees inside. Time for the fireplace! I also made a blueberry coffeecake for breakfast just to turn on the oven.
We are in Alexandria just north of you and enjoying the same cool temps.
ReplyDeleteWhile we are in California, we plan to visit a few wineries...free tasting at many of them and we usually find a great bottle or two!
