We're staying at a park in Bay St. Louis, Miss, which is about 45-50 miles east of New Orleans. We drove over to New Orleans and spent the morning in the north end of town at City Park touring the botanical gardens and the Sculptors garden. We kind of raced through the Sculptors garden since there were about ten school bus's worth of kinds just running wild. The City Park covers the north central part of the city and has just about everything you can think of for the family from a kiddies park to a 18 hole golf course. It's a lot like Belle Isle in Detroit except that none of the buildings are boarded up and people use it.
Then we drove down to Jackson Barracks Museum, this is the military base for the Louisiana Air National Guard, this base has been active since before the Battle of New Orleans "In 1814 we took a little trip down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico"
Remember that song. If you do I'll bet your humming it the rest of the day.
This is one of the better Military Museums that we have ever been to. Then the best part of the day, "A Cheeseburger in Paradise" at Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville.
So far we've spent two days dropping coins into the slots without any luck, going to give them one more chance later this week.
We drove through Kiln, Miss, known as "The Kil" by the locals and saw what we believe to be Brett Farves house, it was the only one that sat in the middle of 300 hundred cleared acres with security fences surrounding it.
We didn't have internet at Bay St Louis, so I just got this posted. We just got in and set up in Baton Rouge.
