Butte LaRose GTG - 28 Aug 2011

Postby longdog2 » Wed Aug 31, 2011 4:46 pm

Things are really hopping down there around the Butte LaRose and Breaux Bridge area. I missed out on the Caroline, Martha, Nancy, Karen, and Sharon GTG last week since I was still in Florida but I didn't miss out altogether. After leaving Florida on Friday and spending two days in New Orleans, my son and I headed to Butte LaRose to stay overnight at Frenchman's Wilderness.

Carolyn Patinjones, and Martha (Acadianmom) were waiting at Carolyn's for us to call when we arrived. Not only did they show up to visit, they also let another friend in on the visit and Nancy also came by. Since my son was traveling with me, I have pictures, drum-roll please!!!!!, with ALL of us--including Caroline--in them.

We had a nice long visit in my RV where everyone was overrun by the excited "Traveling Longdogs". Nancy already had plans for the evening but the rest of us decided that dinner out would be just the thing. Caroline had quite a few choices of dining places on her list but we decided that her favorite, the favorite of locals, would be our favorite.

The food was very good. Steve, Caroline, and Martha had the Half and Half (half crawfish etouffee on rice and half deepfried crawfish). I wimped out and had the hamburger after hearing that Sharon figured the rich food made her stomach rebel. Steve loves New Orleans and the food there but he said the cajun style etouffee he ate at Crawfish Town was even better. My hamburger and steak fries were delicious too just in case you are wondering.

Great company, great food, and good conversation were enjoyed by all.

After dinner, Martha headed for home as she lives well over an hour away. Caroline took us on a short tour. Next time, I want to have more time to see the area. We went by Cajun Palms where Sharon was holed up. We waved as we went by hoping she was able to sleep since her lights were not on. Initially I thought the park was too expensive but after seeing it, I would definitely stop if I had the grandkids with me and had enough time to make it worthwhile. They have a great waterpark type area that kids would love and since it is included in the overnight fee, it would be worth it.

The visit was too short but it was so nice to get to meet three other sistahs. Thanks Caroline and Martha.

So sorry I missed you, Colleen! I thought about coming over for a glass of tea and to meet you, but at that point was afraid even the smell of food would get me going. Wish I had known you were going to come by, I would have stayed up. Hope to meet you the next time around!
