Sundays Arrival in Lafayette Louisiana

We left Shreveport at 11:00 am after a great breakfast at the Diamond Jacks Buffet. The traffic was nominal being that it is Sunday. We made it to Interstate 49 without too much problem and then headed south to Lafayette. It would be about a 3 hour trip but we had planned on 4 because of a lunch stop.

On the way down to Lafayette I called our Dreamer friends Doncat and Cheryl  http://rvdaydreams.blogspot.com/ They were leaving out today from Poche and I wanted to find out their location. They were just leaving so I knew that we would be passing soon. Sure enough it was not long and they passed us going north and we all waved and that was about all we had time to do. Sure wish we could have been down there one day earlier but things did not work out that way. Good seeing you two…HE HE

 
Well as things would have it we did not stop for lunch so we arrived in Lafayette about 2:00 and then made our way to Poche’s Fish-N-Camp. This RV park is located about 11 miles off of Interstate 49. You take the Highway 98 exit and follow the signs to the RV park.

It was 2:30 when we pulled up in front of the office and piled out to register. Boy was I tired! We went in and got our site number…46…after requesting a Western exposure on our Arizona room side. We wanted the morning sun on that side and not the afternoon sun. Don had mentioned to me that they had the sun in the afternoon and it was way too hot this time of year. Now in the winter that would be a welcome heat.

It did not take long to get parked…I was a little concerned after reading Jo Wishnie’s account of Fred trying to park on this side of the pond…and was hoping that I could get in OK. Well as things would have it with Sherri’s expertise help we got in. I did not hook up everything at this time because we had to drive into Lafayette to find the store Sherri would be working at and make sure how long it would take to drive there. She would have to schedule her get up time to that drive in. We found it in about 16 minutes so all was well and then it was time to explore some of the sites.

We decided to get some diesel and then take a look at the RV campground at Frog…We passed the KOA  on Interstate 10 and then just down the road found the RV park there. It was not bad and was very convenient to the Interstate. We will have to keep this one in mind.

 

From there we decided to go eat us some sea food. Sherri and I had passed a good place to eat just before our exit to Poche…Prejean’s….was suppose to be a class act for sea food. Sure enough it stood the test of its reputation and we had a great meal. Sherri had the Shrimp dinner  and I had the Chicken..Sausage..Gumbo. Oh let me tell you we ate way too much and really enjoyed it. By the way I have some left over for today. It is getting close to lunch time so I will  be eating a little bit more here shortly.

OK I have some picture here to share with you…so enjoy and I will return….

Somewhere in Time  

Could not get enough pictures out the back windows. It is so pretty here!

The view just goes on forever…this is a must stay for anyone that likes fishing and birds and walking…and living…

This is the view I have from my desk…Better than the view I had at the office…DUH!

Sherri resting up for work…She really is not up for it but she will have fun when she gets back with her worker friend. By the way I get to meet them all Monday!!!
