The one thing that can be said about Louisiana is that they have some wonderful campgrounds and some incredible Cajun foods and recipes.
I went catfish fishing and caught supper one night.
My wife found a recipe from one of our neighbors and made the catfish that way. It was absolutely delightful.
I never had catfish that way. I sat with a guy from Florida that came up every year during the summer to camp. He took me to some of the lakes where you can catch different types of fish. I must say we had some fish dinners every other night. The fishing is great.
Since we rented a RV this year because of the baby, my wife was happy that we found a campground where there were other mothers with young children. They would spend hours talking about what to do the next day. We did some sightseeing, visited a museum in Shreveport, and looked around a parish called Monroe.
I was impressed with these areas and what they have to offer. We went there in the early summer so we would miss the hurricane season. I wanted nice days with no rain. It turned out to be beautiful.
I though about moving to Louisiana, but because the camping is so great, I decided to just spend my summer there and live in the north where we have snow for outdoor winter activities. Camping is fun to do even when you have a little one. It was not much different from being at home.
We had a great time and enjoyed the fishing and conversations. The nights were warm and peaceful. We did manage to take in a bicycle outing and saw some beautiful land. I had to be careful where I took my wife because she is afraid of wild animals, but it was a great time.
