Heading to Cajun Country

(Betty’s RV Park, Abbeville, LA) Hi 74, Lo 49

Boomtown USA Campground is right next to Interstate 10 and the traffic noise was high most of the night.  It was hard to get used to the noise and it woke us up several times.

Last night we decided to pick up the ottoman today.  After we got up it didn’t take long to get ready to leave.  We drove I-10 West to Cracker Barrel restaurant for breakfast at about 8 miles to Beaumont. 



This is where we had to park.

When we arrived at Cracker Barrel all of the RV/Bus parking spaces were taken by regular cars and trucks.   

We asked a Cracker Barrel employee if it was OK where we parked and she said “no problem”.

As always for us it was great food, especially while traveling.  Quite a few times in the past when we’ve went on road trips or vacations we would leave very early, for example at 2 am, we would drive for about four hours and plan on stopping at Cracker Barrel for a good breakfast at 6 am.  After four hours of driving it would be time for a break anyway.  Then we’d be ready to drive several more hours to hopefully our destination or the night.  Good times!

We left Cracker Barrel and went to pick up the ottoman.  No problems there.  We threw it inside the door of the RV and headed down the road.

It took about three hours to travel from Vidor, TX to Betty’s RV Park in Abbeville, LA.  It’s a small, homey place and is highly recommended by several full-time Rv’ers in their blogs and journals.  It is a 17-site RV Park and has a great covered patio for happy hours and get-togethers.

We arrived at about 4 pm and were invited to happy hour at 4:30.  We got everything set up then headed to the happy hour. 

The happy hour was a good time as we met several people and had good conversations.  I’ll try to get more pictures tomorrow.  We left a little early because we wanted to watch the NCAA tournament tonight.

I also wanted to get this blog written and posted so the posting date matched correctly.

See you all tomorrow.
