#Summer2023 - Day 2: Natchez, MS, and Reunion Lake RV Resort

Today is out 17th Wedding anniversary.  It seems to have become a tradition recently to be on vacation on this day.  

Two years ago it was Southern Grace Lavender Farm enroute to Florida.

Last year it was Corpus Christi riding horses on Padre Island.

This year we are traveling again.

River View has a lot going for it.  The park is well kept and affordable.  They also offered discounts for Good Sam and first responders.  Wifi was good as well. They were also very accommodating when we asked to stay a bit beyond checkout.

This morning we went to the National Park Visitor Center for the Natchez Historic Park and walked to Fort Rosalie, which the French built in 1718.  Not much there now but still cool to think about.


We also stopped at a little gift shop and bought Moon Pies!  Sadie had not had one.

We were en route to Hammond, LA by noon, but the stop lights in Natchez gave us grief.  Times very poorly.  Much of our drive was through national forest on lightly traveled roads.  It was nice 

Our travels, however, has taught us something.  Mississippi and Louisiana do not believe in picnic areas down here.  Even the LA welcome center was closed on I55.

We arrived at Sun Outdoors around 3, got set up, and went to the lazy river.  A lot of people in the park today.  After that, Steph and I cleaned up to go to Don's Seafood for our anniversary.  We both ate too much but could not resist dessert - white chocolate bread pudding with rum sauce!  

We could not eat it all so Sadie got our leftovers, which she snarfed down quickly.  I guess she liked it!

Then a bike ride in the dark and off too bed.  Tomorrow will be a slower day!

Jamaica Beach, Day 4

Today started slow, as vacation days should.  No real plans other than a bit of shopping and a nap. Quick breakfast and then helped Brandon....
