FAT TUESDAY!

Happy Mardi Gras everyone..where's the party? Actually, it's just south of here in the French Quarter, but it's noisy enough here at the KOA..maybe some ear-plugs tonight. But back to the morning & our get away from the KOA in Chattahoochee. I get up about 8, fix coffee & check e-mails before KK gets up..and her coke is in the freezer..outside, where it's 28 degrees! I go up to the KOA office & have their breakie,waffles & sausage & get a egg-biscuit for KK. Break down the camper & exit by 11:00, EST, but only 10 minutes down the road & it's CST! We get an hour back! A stop for gas & some shopping in the Pensacola area, where the Navagition System leads us to a mall & KK's Clinique,a TJ Maxx & lunch at WhatAburger! This puts us behind schedule & maybe not Lafayette tonight, but hey, who cares? Plus , a very large fire on I-10, as truck is engulfed in flames on our side of the road! So KK looks in the KOA book & calls the one near Baton Rouge and they have a spot, so away we go to Denham Springs, LA, only 30 minutes from where we are. We pull in about 6:30, setup, start the heater, check e-mails & go to eat at a local restaurant, La Grange. It's so-so..a chicken fry, and mashed potatoes for me & broiled shrimp for KK. Lots of LSU & Saints stuff in this place. We cruise around for a little while & then head back to shower, blog & pay some bills. No Olympics tonight, but we heard that some of the skiing was postponed anyway. Goodnight.
