Lake Charles, Louisiana

We've spent the last two days in Lake Charles, Louisiana just looking around and relaxing.












Yesterday we drove about 35 miles South to the Gulf of Mexico to visit the beach one more time. The beaches were clean and deserted so we had the place to ourselves. We found no evidence of the oil spill from Deep Water Horizon but we did find lots of shells.






Today we drove up to Sam Houston Jones State Park just North of Lake Charles to do some hiking. It's a really pretty area of 1000 acres with great trails and the river is just beautiful. The day was cool, clear and crisp so it feels like fall now.












Homes across the river were spectacular. What a great place to live.
For those who follow this blog I just want to wish you all a "Happy Thanksgiving". We head to Kingwood,Texas near Houston tomorrow for ten days and the blog will get neglected so don't expect more for a while. We'll spend the holiday with my Cousin (AKA sis) and  her husband there and then will head for San Antonio on Saturday the 30th. So.... till then, have a great holiday.
