I made pancakes and bacon outside on our griddle on the bbq. It was absolutely sunny and blue skies, but the wind was really picking up. I had to kind of use the tree right outside our trailer door as a wind block. We'd found some cherry chips in the baking section on our last shopping trip so some of us had cherry chip pancakes. Quite fun.
We pulled out of Buccaneer State Park right around noon. The winds were pushing us around quite a bit so it wasn't a relaxing drive at all. The distance wasn't long and the estimated drive time was only about 90 minutes, but it felt like much more. We had one rest stop just inside the Louisiana border. Brock had to keep a tight grip on the steering wheel as we were coming in to the Big Easy. Other drivers didn't help. As the highway started to become more congested, we really slowed down as all the lanes had to merge into one from an accident that was getting cleaned up.

After maneuvering our way through the traffic, we finally came to our campground, Bayou Segnette State Park. We were so pleasantly surprised. It is a very large park especially considering it is right in the middle of such a metropolitan area. The campground has fairly nice grassy separation between sites. Our site is right next to the playground and bathrooms which is also right next to the laundry. And the laundry is FREE!! There is no sewer hookup so it is great to be so close to the facilities. We were able to get about 3 loads of clothes washed and dried. The kids had a lot of fun playing on the playground with a large group of other camping kids. They played tag games like Lava Monster and Infection and ran and ran until their legs were sore and it started to be too dark to see.
Tomorrow we will head into the city and explore the Big Easy. Looking forward to trying some new culinary delights.
