Mon. Mar. 28th 2011 Abita Springs LA

Join us as we travel North America in our Holiday Rambler Vacationer,

 since August 2006

       Happy Monday

       Yes it is once again the sun is shinning it's warm and the beginning of a brand new week. We sure could get used to this weather year round. Nothing too exciting today puttering about walkabouts the resort, I even helped our neighbor Tex attempt to set up his satellite dish, for a couple of hours until he gave up. We chatted with a few neighbors as well as reading our books in the shade.

       We have a favourite Restaurant that we have been to a few times, the Bonefish Grill. The first time was in Myrtle Beach SC, Lafayette La, and the one here in Covington. This is a chain of restaurants but not like any I have seen before. The atmosphere is clean,very nice but casual, at first we wondered as the wait staff wore these impressive white jackets. Now that we have had our 4th visit, the second one here in Covington we can honestly say the the service and the food is consistently excellent and reasonable. Once we had decided to stop in Abita Springs (2 months ago) on our tour we were waiting for a special occasion to go here for supper. No occasions were happening so we created one "Happy Monday".

       Well for this we got dressed up, clean shorts and cool shirts and headed out for the 10 minute drive shortly after 4 pm for an early supper.

Coconut shrimp appetizer

       We started with a fresh baked bread, olive oil and a spices for dipping then the tasty coconut shrimp. Suzie ordered the jumbo sea scallops and shrimp with garlic whipped potatoes, beans and sausage .

Sea Scallops and Shrimp

       For me it was the Bang Bang Tacos, soft tacos with their signature bang bang shrimp, tomato, lettuce, sour cream and fries very tasty.

       Now we did have enough to eat but, relaxing for a bit and after and espresso we decided to share a strawberry shortcake, guaranteed to have no calories by or friendly waiter(haha).

       After this fantastic dinner its now time to return home a short walkabout, read a bit then we are done for the night.
