RAIN RAIN GO AWAY!!!

It started around 5am as a gentle rain on top of our roof but within an hour it turned into a monsoon and with thunder and lighting we soon realized it was going to last awhile.  We finally found a period where it let off and we took that to get ready to get on the road.
  It was Mobile, Alabama where things begun to brighten up and then we got to explore.  First stop was the Mississippi Welcome center where we were wished Happy Easter as we entered.  They did a nice job of decorating.


We checked into a Passport America park, and checked out the area.  We drove 5 miles to the beach and ate at Cajun Crawfish Hut.  It was a little hole in the wall recommended by our rv park.  A temporty setting since they lost everything when Hurracaine Katrina came and flattened their homes and the original restaurant which was on the beach.  They are rebuilding a beautiful new restaurant  in the old location and it opens next month.   This is the hole in the wall, but the food was excellent even though the menu was simple until the new one opens.

We're STUFFED!!! 
Not the best food for us, but the fried Mushrooms were great and the fresh Gulf Shrimp hit the spot too.
Passing a Casino on the way back to our little home on wheels, we stopped for a short time.  We both had $8 to $10 more than we started so a good time to get out of there. 

     Passing a beach is something we can't do without stopping.  It was really cold outside, but we did get some pics.  It's good to see the beach is coming back after the Hurricane five years ago and the Oil Spill last year.  It really is beginning to take shape and the beach is beautiful.


A perfect ending to a perfect day.  Life is good, come Rain or come Shine.
