In the first post I did about this epic ten day, six states, family road trip we traveled through Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, and then into Louisiana. We left Pineville, Louisiana Monday, June 9th and traveled over to Natchez, Mississippi. Our goal was to stop somewhere near the Mississippi river so we could get out and explore the area. There is a good chance we might not ever go this far east again and although our kids are young and may not remember much they can at least say they've been there, done that.
There is about a 40' problem when doing RV road trips without any tow....it's almost impossible to find a spot to park! So, with one kid sleeping, the other crawling around trying to find something to put in her mouth and the oldest not seeming to care we just rolled through the bridge twice while I took pictures from the passenger seat.
State five done!
Once we left Natchez we traveled on I-20 into Monroe, LA. West Monroe to be correct. Our Buggy Boy is a fan of the Duck Boys over at Duck Dynasty so we thought we would make this stop for him.
After a nasty down pour we continued on our journey to Shreveport.
Here we all are chill-laxin' on the boardwalk at the Red River.
Once we explored the great wonders of the Bass Pro Shop we set up shop for a bit in the parking lot to let the kids run around and ride their bikes.
Somewhere in small town Oklahoma we stopped for a break because Mama had enough.
(I just dug through all of our receipts from this trip and I can't find the one for the restaurant we ate at across from this stop). This little park and its little train kept our boys very busy and happy!
Alright. Perhaps I'll stop here so you don't get bored and overloaded. I'll work on a final part three post for you soon!
