My mom and Ron invited us on our first Gulf Coast trip. We flew into Dallas and had a couple days to enjoy Fort Worth. We went to a TCU game, tailgated and had a blast even though TCU lost. That night we started our journey trip. They bought a motor home back in February so we took that and of course miss pregnant Chloe came along as well. Chloe is their chocolate lab who is expecting the first weekend of November and Chet and I will be getting one of the puppies for Christmas. We cannot wait!!!!! Our first dog together. I’m so excited.
We spent a couple days in New Orleans and it was my first
time there. Let me start by saying it was very unique. It’s a great city,
AMAZING food, history and lots of places to see and visit but it is one crazy
party town. For me, it’s the kind of city you go to visit once and don’t need
to ever go again. We had amazing Cajun food, seafood, Caribbean food, French
food and that was the best part. We visited the Garden District, Warehouse
District, Bourbon Street, the Dome, and casinos.
After we had enough in New Orleans we headed to Destin,
Florida. It’s a beautiful city and we all loved it here. We stayed in an RV
park right on the gulf coast. You could see the beach from our campsite. The
sand was white as snow and the water was so clean, clear and warm. In a
nutshell, the beaches were amazing! We spent most of our days on the beach
swimming, kayaking, fishing, walking along the beach (or jogging), relaxing and
of course eating delicious food. We had great seafood meals, ate right on the
water, played corn hole and enjoyed some yummy wine. One evening we took a
sunset boat cruise, saw dolphins and had a blast. That evening we ate at a
restaurant over the water that decorated their walls with thousands and thousands
of dollars. It was a basic and local restaurant that was known for their fresh
oysters. The food was very good! That night we plated shuffle board and had a
great time.
If you’ve never been to New Orleans I recommend going at
least once, and Destin should definitely be added on your bucket list. It was
rated top ten of the prettiest places to visit in the U.S.
Will post photos once I download them onto my laptop at home!
