Cajun Palms is only about two hours drive from New Orleans. We got into town early enough to have some Gumbo for lunch at the Gumbo Shop. We rested up a bit in the afternoon and hit the French Quarter for dinner and our favorite hangout, the Erin Rose.

January 18-19, 2012: This resort could be classified as a mega-resort. There are multiple pools, one is a playground in a pool, a couple of bars, putt-putt golf, two fishing ponds, and about 300 campsites. There were about 1/10th that many campers when we stayed here. The place was a vast field of cement pads and picnic tables. None of the activites were open, but even this had been in summer we probably wouldn’t have used them anyway. Normally this is not our sort of campground, but at $35/night it was a far cry better than an iffy KOA at $45. I could see this being a wonderful family destination campground and in mid-January it suited our needs quite well.

Before leaving San Antonio, we stopped in at Tito’s for breakfast. We both ordered the Migas Plate, which comes with potatoes cooked with chorizo and refried beans. Darren had to get on a phone call for a meeting so the whole thing was a bit rushed, but we got our food to go and headed over to the Alamo. We were going to take the tour until we learned that THERE’S NO BASEMENT! Since that was all we were interested in, we just snapped some photos as we headed out of town. Our plan was to make it to Beaumont, TX, but when we got there it was early and the park we were going to stay at did not look all that promising, we decided to press on. Made it all the way to Henderson, LA, so now our drive to New Orleans tomorrow will be a short one.
