Lora and I headed out to Louisiana to visit with our daughter and her boyfriend over the Labor Day weekend. We pulled our camper trailer and stayed at the Cash Point RV Park. It was a little unnerving to drive over a levee to the campground next to the Red River. At least is not raining!
We drove over to their apartment and got a tour before heading to the R.W. Norton Art Gallery for a viewing of the WWII exhibition. From there we went to Marilynn's Place for a wonderful dinner experience.
The next day we got in a tour hike of downtown and then met with friends of theirs from Austin TX, who shared a couple of days with us. We had a great cookout by the pool with the famous Niles as head chef.
Sunday we went back to Marilynn's place and walked the Botanical gardens and a snack at the local Rhino Coffee Uptown shop. Then we visited Flying Heart Brewing for pizza and beer. Later we went downtown for an outdoor concert at the Shreveport Riverview Park which turned into a wonderful evening of music and fireworks. Awards were handed out for the Powerboat Nationals Grand Prix of Louisiana returns to the Red River Labor Day weekend and after the fireworks we saw the band Chee-Weez perform.
Monday we headed to Texas to canoe at Caddo Lake State Park . Never thought that I would canoe with the alligators, but we did. Beautiful park! Then it was back to the apartment for some Taiwanese cooking by Niles.
It was a wonderful visit.
