Marriott Baton Rouge

... you know what I mean.

On a Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday I have been helping out in a certain job! It does hurt me to say this but I have been a referee. It has been an experience I have looked after U8 up to U14 games and all have there extremely competitive coaches who want you to blow the whistle for everything. Very rewarding job, spectators would approach me at the end and say "that is the best game I have watched, it makes a difference when the ref knows ...

Hey loyal blog readers,

This is an entry which doesn't need much writing you'll be glad to know. It's mainly about the pictures! It was a lovely day in Louisiana so we decided to take the kids to the zoo ( we really wanted to go, but taking the kids was our cover ).

All in all it was a great day out! It was hot and the kids (myself and Gary) loved it! Enjoy the pictures. Another entry will follow this one :)

Pascagoula to Baton Rouge

Got up early to get a jump on the sunrise and because I really couldn’t get to sleep thanks to the raccoon incident the night before.

Headed down to the banks of the Pascagoula (Singing River), which according to legend, got its name from when the Pascagoula Indians walked hand in hand into the river to take their lives rather than live with the hostile ...

... the meal. So we had some food and a couple of drinks and headed home. Then about 2:00am we headed to Chips house armed with bag fuls of shreaded paper, tooth paste, chocolate syrup and other horrible things. Chips wife Jennifer had text us to say he was asleep and she was supposed to open his truck for us but we got there and it was locked. So we start decorating the outside of his truck with our ingredients.

Denham Springs, Louisiana, United States adamc26

... was pretty quiet for Denham Springs we went to Hooters and had some food and then watched Harry Potter in the evening. Tuesday however for one coach started with a cold front. Aled was staying with Chip, Chief Prank Master Chip as he's known. He lived right by Calums host family so Tuesday morning Chip got up early with Aled and his sons with water guns/canons filled with freezing cold water. The busted into Calums bedroom with him fast asleep and soaked him with ...

Wednesday we made our way back to Denham Springs!

What should of been a 7.5 hour drive was a 8.5 drive because Mapquest, who I hate sent us the country route through New, we werent' best pleased. We chilled on the Wednesday evening and then the next day i went to "Blue Bayou" which is a water park/Theme park. It was a great day even though it reached 104 degrees. I went with a summer camp! We hit all the water rides ...

I left this morning via Greyhound bus and have arrived in Baton Rouge. It gives me a good chance to do some urgent washing which I have just finished now. It's very hot again today and with nothing major around town and some fast food within walking distance, I will just stay around here.
On the bus here I saw my first billboard! Maybe only Dad ...

I was going to change our reservation...but Katie had left her purse at this hotel when we stayed here at the beginning of the trip. I just thought it would be easier. The room was still clean...a room away from that back exit, but the desk was broken. They had been holding Katie's purse since we called from Disney. All of the money was miraculously still in there.

We ate dinner at a place ...

My parents called when we were taking a detour to Gulfport, Mississippi. They had decided to go ahead and meet us in Lake City. I gave them the hotel info and they booked a room.

The drive from Baton Rouge was really nice. I actually enjoyed seeing all of the swamps and wetlands.

We took a brief detour from Hwy 10 to go dip our toes in the Gulf ...

... on campgrounds is too costly to continue doing, so I'm "boondocking". I've a full tank of petrol, and fresh water. My generator is fully operable and I have a full tank of propane for cooking. My Dump tanks are empty, so i'm set for the night. I'm currently logged onto the motel's website (wireless). It's so convenient being in my RV with all the creature comforts of home. I can't recommend this type of holiday, enough.
