East Coast Trip Day 6

Day 6,
We spent the night at Pontchartrain Landing RV Park. This RV park is located on a canal that leads to Lake Pontchartrain. This is a good size lake covering about 650 square miles and has canals that lead to the ocean. There are several large luxury yacht builders and repair facilities near us. Some of the yachts we are able to see look like they would cost somewhere between 50 and 100 million dollars. A little more (actually, a lot more) than I could ever afford.

 We drove downtown to the WW2 Museum. It is rated as the number 1 WW2 museum in the US.

It was awesome. It had just about every kind of vehicle that was used in WW2 by the US. There were tanks, landing crafts, motorcycles, artillery, trucks and Aircraft.
Anyone that comes to New Orleans, needs to visit this museum. We were there about 4 hours and only saw about 50% of it.

After returning from the museum, we took the dogs to a pet area at the RV park and threw their favorite ball. Sue tried to get a photo of them chasing the ball but they all came out a little blurry. This was the best of the bunch. They look like evil possessed puppies. Ellie has the orange ball in her mouth. This ball is like her Heroin. She literally goes nuts for the ball. This is one of the few toys we have to put up when we are not throwing it to them as the two will get into a fight over it and literally keep fighting until we break it up. Both have bite scars from these fights.
