Abbeville and Eunice - Aug 8-12

When invited to South Louisiana for shrimping and crabbing, you simply say when, where and what time. Such was the case when Vicki and Gene invited us to Palmetto Island State Park with them. 

Bleu - "Dad, are we there yet?"

The state park, beautifully set on the Vermillion River, has a jungle feel.  

We headed to the Rockefeller Refuge area and commenced to catching crab. 

And saw other critters as well...

We then headed to Shucks in Abbeville for dinner. The next morning we returned to Rockefeller and loaded up with crab and shrimp. 

Which then turned into dinner...

We bid adieu to Vicki and Gene on Sunday and drove to Eunice for a couple days of imbibing and card playing with Lance and Kelly. We even fit in a scooter ride. 

Goodbyes weren't too sad as we'll be back in just a couple weeks. All in all a do-over all around.
