On the road again 2014

We left home the 1st of May heading towards Galveston, TX. We made over night stops in Lake City, FL., DeFuniak Springs, FL.  The first place we spent a few day's at was in Fairhope, AL.at Coastal Haven RV. Park ( May 3 - May 5) which was a nice small quiet park. Fairhope has a very nice downtown Historic area and French Quarter. While there we also took side trips down to Foley AL.

From there we traveled to Breaux Bridge, La. We were there from May 6 - May 8. We stayed at Cajun Palms Resort which was a very large park with 300 sites. When we arrived it was not very full. The only drawback to this park is it fills up on the weekends, it has large swimming pools with a couple of  bars that open on the weekends. We left on a Friday morning and the place was filling up quickly. While there we visited the Tabasco factory on Avery Island, LA. They have a very nice Tabasco Country Store. We also visited the Konriko Rice Company factory located on the grounds of America's Oldest Rice Mill. The old mill is still being used.

From there we went to Beaumont, TX. We spent two day's there. It's a so so place but not much for us to do. Took a side trip to Port Aurthur, TX. this is a deserted, run down evacuated town. While driving around the town we were the only people in the town ,I mean no one was in town. I guess between the Hurricane's & all the new development moving out toward I-10 the old part of town has died.

Headed to Galveston, TX.
