29OCT-05NOV19 - Houma, LA

Tuesday around lunch, 29OCT, we finally get on the road back to Houma & granddaughter Coraline Jane, & parents Bethany & Joe (our son).  Of course there seemed to be lots of little problems w/new RV preparing for departure – cargo holds that won’t lock, low tire pressure, wrong type of tow harness connection for Toad lights, etc.  Finally on the road & we hit torrential downpour (forecast off & on for next three daysL).  We have to admit this new small RV on Mercedes Sprinter chassis is less stressful & easier to drive than our old 32ft dieselJ


Wednesday wake up to no rain; Corrie runs errands & Dan works on RV ‘stuff’.  Corrie cooks spaghetti dinner in RV & we run it over to Joe’s for family dinner, with Rebecca, Raymond, Jaxson & Mason in town to visit their old friends (& new niece/cousin Coraline)J.

Thursday (Halloween) cold & windy; Dan keeps plugging away on RV ‘stuff’.  Ron Borison (a CG Academy classmate of Dan’s) stops by for lunch w/Dan & sea stories – great visit (especially since Ron bought lunch)!  Not much done, that evening Corrie feeling tired, so Dan met Raymond & Rebecca to get pictures of Jaxson & Mason before they went trick or treating.

Sunday, 03NOV, afternoon is another great crab boil/feed & BBQ at Bethany’s parents (June & T Chiasson).  Again lots of Bethany’s family were there; but this time Rebecca, Raymond, Jaxson & Mason were also there!

After all that great food, it was off to Brook’s Sno-World for cajun snowballs even though it was pretty cold out.

Monday & Tuesday not much done other than preparing RV & Toad for Tuesday’s departure.  On Monday there was a short visit to Joe & Bethany’s to say aloha to Joe who had to go back to work (& to get our baby fix of CoralineJ!).
