Welcome back to Coffee Talk with the Cajun Mamas. Today we're going to be talking about vacation and you know it's not vacation season yet, you know, but summer's around the corner. Maybe you're thinking about where we're going to take our family this year.
Speaker 2:If you haven't booked it already, you're late. Get on it, All right get on it.
Speaker 1:But we're going to talk about some of our places we like to go vacation. Maybe some of our dream vacation spots we should talk about too. It'll be a fun one, all right. But first let's mention Thibodeau's Paint and Finishing. Thank you for being our grand sponsor this month. They service the Acadiana area. They're based in Church Point and they offer interior and exterior painting and staining, Sheet, rock finishing in both smooth or textured finishes, Patching jobs for ceilings and walls. They can repair cracks, peeling, peeling and stains from water damage that you've had. He also offers minor carpentry work and they can hang sheetrock for small projects. So if you have any of those needs going on in your life right now, give Skeet Thibodeau a call at 337-308-2713 or you can find them on Facebook at Thibodeau's Paint and Finishing, and you know this is one of those things that you might not need him now, but you probably will need him sometime in the future.
Speaker 1:So just remember his name.
Speaker 2:Skeet, s-k-e-a-t. Thibodeau yes, all right. So vacations, all right. Where let's talk about? Oh, when we was growing up, where did we vacation? And I'm telling you, my kids have such the privilege, oh, so privileged, because we did not go many places. We went camping, okay, at the KOA in Scott. Okay, that's where we went.
Speaker 1:I can remember going to the KOA in Scott when I was little.
Speaker 2:We went to the Eunice Cajun Campground. There was one in Cairn Crow called Bayou Wilderness. That's where I stayed Bayou Wilderness, bayou Wilderness.
Speaker 1:What did y'all do during these camping adventures?
Speaker 2:Well, we ate snacks.
Speaker 1:Outside.
Speaker 2:Outside.
Speaker 1:By a campfire maybe? No, no, not necessarily snacks and outside, outside by a campfire, maybe?
Speaker 2:no, no, not necessarily by the lake. We'd go paddle boating, you know there was a little game room and and there the pool the pool was it? Yeah, go swimming yeah and the arcade and we'd kind of just run the roads while our parents chilled out. And now that I look back on it I'm like man, our parents really had it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they would stay and visit and drink and this and that and eat, and it was safe to let your kids go roam about the campground, go to the playground, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:And I was the big sister, so I just had to make sure, lainey, there was mini golf. My mama would put Lain in a like a highlighter, highlighter colored shirt so she could find her at all times that's.
Speaker 1:That's a good, that's a good mama is it? Though, yeah, because you mean, like, do I see that yellow thing running around? Okay, she's all right, she's good, I see her.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but that's what we did. We went camping, and so we could have several little mini vacations instead of just going on one big.
Speaker 1:Some people still I know they still do that they will take weekend trips like four or five weekend trips instead of one big trip, and that's awesome. I like that too.
Speaker 2:I don't care to do that.
Speaker 1:Well, when you have one or two, maybe, but when you have a larger family, weekend trips can be hard.
Speaker 2:I don't understand people that want to have more than one kitchen to clean. You know, like it's load up the camper and like a lot of people's like well, I have, I have my camper, stuff that stays in. They do. But when you get back and you got a little work on Monday, you got to clean all them clothes and like it. Just that don't really a lot. That's not something. That's what my parents were doing while we was running around. I guess they were probably trying to keep everything together while we messed it all up when we came back to the camper.
Speaker 1:I don't know but that's what we did.
Speaker 2:You and laney couldn't have messed up too much, just y'all too I well, we would do astroworld.
Speaker 1:Oh my god, you see the nostalgia that I just unlocked for you.
Speaker 1:Everything is just yes from the time I can remember like I was little probably couldn't get on many rides, because I distinctly remember my first real roller coaster. I was terrified, yeah, and then cried to get on it and then, when it happened, couldn't wait to go back again Like I was hooked. But, yes, astroworld. We would go and take that Chevy Astro van to Houston, baby, and stay the night at some cheap motel and just go spend the whole day at the park and, oh man, astro world. Yes, if y'all know what I'm talking about, in Houston, texas, they had Astro world.
Speaker 2:Y'all let us know in the comments if you got memories from Astro oh, my goodness, I have so many because we would go um, we would go on choir and youth group trips and we just go for the day.
Speaker 1:Yeah, just a long day trip. I mean you exhausted, at the end you leaving early in the morning.
Speaker 2:You're going to get there, have a whole day and then come back late at night. Yep, and we lived for this trip. Could you see us again going just us to something like that, oh.
Speaker 1:I'm ready that would be, gotten on a roller coaster though in 20 years. I don't know, 15 years, like for years how you think our old bodies would handle all that. Well, I did it not that long ago when we went to um.
Speaker 2:We went to Gatlinburg, yes, and. You did good One of the basic vacation places and I love it.
Speaker 1:I love it Me, and.
Speaker 2:Brittany and Miss Faye. We rode, we rode. I think my mama came too. We rode the scariest of roller coasters but we had the kids too. But everybody else watched the kids and we went riding on them, big ones, and we had just a grand old time it's been years.
Speaker 1:But I would love, but they don't have one close like for a day trip anymore around here one I want to say there's one maybe in fort worth yeah, but that's not a day trip, that is not a day you gotta overnight that one absolutely no, I don't know overnight.
Speaker 2:If there's a place, y'all let us know in the comments, but not not some old rickety place that I'm going to die at. Okay, no, a legit theme park here. Mm-hmm, that is one of the reasons why. But you know I've never been to Silver Dollar City and Branson, but we've been to Dollywood.
Speaker 1:Oh, I want to go to Dollywood that was amazing.
Speaker 2:I want to go Because that was amazing. I want to go Because it's a little, you know, like. There's a little bit of like. There's stuff for little kids, there's stuff for big kids, stuff in the middle. It doesn't matter whether you like to ride rides or not, because there's something over there for everybody, so we need to figure out how we're going to put that on the books.
Speaker 1:We figure this out if, if any, if anybody's listening that has connection, connections to Dollywood or one of these places and wants to uh vacation mama's to come spend a day what a what a full adventure that would be.
Speaker 2:Send us a message. Yeah, we would gladly go to put it on the books go go to Dollywood yeah, frolic, frolic and show you our time.
Speaker 1:Yeah, because Koa hasn't ridden a Costa in 15, 20 years Now. When I was a little older, we started doing the Gulf Shores trip, and this was before Gulf Shores really was big. It was popping.
Speaker 1:I can remember I mean, the condos that we stayed at were small compared to now. It's just like high rises everywhere, um. But yeah, and and back then I can remember my mama booking uh, the room sight unseen that there was a brochure it that you get in the mail a brochure of this place. And when we got there it was not like the brochure. I can I was, I had to have been maybe six or seven at the most and I can remember my mama being like just appalled. It was not that it was dirty like, but it just wasn't.
Speaker 2:Like the brochure showed like ocean view.
Speaker 1:Like you was on the side of the building and you had to like lean and you could see a tiny little piece.
Speaker 2:What they say now, it's not ocean view, it's like I don't know what they call it. They call it something when you're trying to book a condo.
Speaker 1:Well, they have ocean view and they have ocean front. I think.
Speaker 2:And ocean view is yeah, you want ocean front, yeah, you want ocean front. Well, they have Ocean View and they have Ocean Front. I think Ocean View is.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you want Ocean Front.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you want Ocean Front. Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 1:So can you imagine, though, this is how they did things before the internet and VRBO and Airbnb and all this. You got you a brochure and you're like this looks really nice, I'm going to mail them a check, and then you go and you pick up your key from them. Could be, could not be. Can you imagine like you could totally get scammed, but people were honest back then.
Speaker 2:You know, for the most part, I mean sometimes those, sometimes those airbnbs. Oh, sometimes I still don't know about that you know they take the good pictures, oh yeah. You know, and I, don't know, sometimes it ain't like that, but we have fun. For the most part we've had some good success.
Speaker 1:Yeah so but yeah, the Gulf Shores. And then we started going. Each summer it was a Gulf Shores trip, and that was my childhood, really my core childhood memories other than Astroworld was Gulf Shores and the beach, other than Astroworld was Gulf Shores and the beach and I have a love for the beach, Like that's my happy place.
Speaker 2:That's what we love to do is go to Gulf Shores. If I plan something with my mom and my sister, we're going to Gulf Shores, and it's been a couple of years for us since we've been, certainly before we had the two babies, last babies, but we just enjoy it every single time. It doesn't matter how many times we go to Gulf.
Speaker 1:Shores we enjoy it?
Speaker 2:yeah, absolutely. You know, now I do one of the biggest trips we took when I was younger with my mama and then we went to Galveston. I've been to Galveston once. We went. One day we went to Astroworld and then we drove to galveston and uh, and we went to galveston and we we had that was really a good trip like there's so much beach there we, well, we did, but we did a lot of the historical stuff there, you know, like they had the big flood and everything in the wall, you know.
Speaker 2:But there was nice little like little vacation spot shops. We went to moody gardens, so good, there's so much to do there, yeah, and even we have a friend I have a boardwalk thing, I think yeah page. Nolan was telling me they went last year and she said that was the best vacation she's ever.
Speaker 1:Going on, oh, galveston and that's not that far away. I never think about that.
Speaker 2:No, no, because.
Speaker 1:I guess I'm a beach girl.
Speaker 2:I want the blue water.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I want the nice water.
Speaker 2:You know Mm-hmm, but that's just another good place to go. You know, if you want to go somewhere quick, there's some. She said it was like all dressed up for Christmas, okay, so anyway. Well, let's talk about our petite sponsor, 87 Washes Mobile Detailing, a family-owned business started by Jorge and his wife Ashley. Yes, so sweet they are in.

Yes, you can find this at 87 washes mobile detailingcom yes, thank y'all for being a sponsor. Thank you very much.
Speaker 1:Podcast. Ok, so let's. I was thinking in my mind, like what are some places that Cajuns love to go vacation Every one of them, and there is about five different ish places that if you tell somebody from around our area and I would dare to say even like the Gulf Coast area, like into Mississippi, alabama, like these are the southerners vacation choices, okay, I would venture to say I think so not just Cajun country, but uh Gulf Shores number one, that's the, the Cajun Riviera.
Speaker 2:Everybody's going to Gulf Shores.
Speaker 1:Everybody's going to Gulf Shores. That's the nice place to go. You're going to see LSU and Saints tents and flags all over the beach. Like Louisiana takes over Gulf Shores, in the summertime, the beach is.
Speaker 2:You go for the beach? Yeah, but it's still part of like you feel like it's home, you know.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I don't know. It's not that far know. We have made ourselves comfortable in gulf shores oh for sure, uh.
Speaker 1:Then you go a little bit further east and you have destin, florida, which is the fancy gulf shores fancy gulf shores personally, my favorite would be would be because, if you didn't know, that's where I met my husband uh, destin beach was in destin beach. You always like to say that that's my oldest. She would call it Destin Beach. All the time Were we going to Destin Beach, yeah, so that's another story. But met him there and couldn't get rid of him after that.
Speaker 2:So you know, rest is history. And now y'all still going to Destin together.
Speaker 1:We still going to Destin the fancy Gulf Shores okay. Let's see where else. Biloxi, mississippi okay that's in between. You don't have to go that far from where we at. Why? Why you go to biloxi? That's where you go.
Speaker 2:Where when you want to gamble and you want to eat, that's right, and you want a bit, a little bit of the beach too. Like they do have a little bit of the beach, they got a little bit of the beach the gamble and the food and the seafood and the food.
Speaker 1:Yep, let's see what else Branson.
Speaker 2:Branson, Branson Missouri, Branson Missouri.
Speaker 1:That is the Vegas for Cajun grandparents.
Speaker 2:It is. You know how many people is like we're going to Branson, we're going to Branson, and you know what? My uncle invited us to go to Branson with him one time.
Speaker 1:Why couldn't?
Speaker 2:you, you couldn't go for something. Huh, no, we went. He asked us like the week before he has a timeshare there. And he asked us. He was like hey, how about y'all all come to Branson? And we were like we can't go to Branson right now.
Speaker 1:We'd have to you know Picking up and leaving.
Speaker 2:We literally picked up and left and we all were able to make it and we had the best.
Speaker 1:Those are the best trips like spur of the moment spur of the moment.
Speaker 2:The kids had a fun time, the adults had a fun time. It was to this day when we say, what's your favorite vacation? It's always that Branson trip. Oh, it was such a good one. It was such a good one. Okay, it was such a good one.
Speaker 1:Okay, next on the list, the Smoky Mountains, tennessee. So that's, you know, gatlinburg area where. Cajuns go to pretend to be outdoorsy.
Speaker 2:What do you do in Gatlinburg? That's so outdoorsy? I know all we did was.
Speaker 1:I mean they have hiking and stuff, but really you just want to go and do moonshine tasting.
Speaker 2:That's what we did want to go and and do with moonshine taste. That's what we did. We sat at the moonshine tasting place. You have to walk down there to you do we ate?
Speaker 1:you know, moonshine, did you do the little um, the train, the, the, what is?
Speaker 2:it called that coaster the mountain coaster.
Speaker 1:Oh no, but I know, okay, I know what you're talking about it, just go, takes you up the mountain like a ski like a ski lift, lift yeah yeah, we did that, the ski lift.
Speaker 2:I was afraid my kids was going to try to jump off midair because they don't have no type of yeah, it was sketch. And then we also did. There was a glass bridge, Like there's this big wooden bridge that goes across the mountains and there's a piece of it that is just glass and you can see straight down.
Speaker 1:It freaked you out. It was a little scary.
Speaker 2:But it makes your mind do crazy, yeah, but we made it, we survived it.
Speaker 1:Okay, next up is Disney World, where Cajun parents go to lose their mind and their wallets.
Speaker 2:Hey, listen, you know we cringing, we are cr cringing, but I kind of want to go too, like I kind of want to go I just want to go see what everybody, what's the big deal? What's the big deal?
Speaker 1:everybody's just like oh, disney, disney, disney, I love it, love. And I'm like I could not care, I couldn't care less, I don't want to go. But then I'm like maybe I'm missing out on something my kids.
Speaker 2:I've always wanted to go to Disney and never made it there. Okay, now, as an adult, I'm like you have too much anxiety for that. That's not going to be good for you, okay.
Speaker 1:Lots of waiting in line that's a lot of waiting in line there's a lot of people around me.
Speaker 2:There's a lot of uncertainty where am I gonna eat? What am what are? Where's the bathrooms at All of these things? And I haven't even gotten there, nor do I even have a trip planned there. So, like I'm just not, I don't think I'm cut out for it.
Speaker 1:No, but we know people like you, and I know of people our age that go without their children because they love it so much. Yeah.
Speaker 2:And.
Speaker 1:I'm like maybe there must be something to it.
Speaker 2:You and I'm like maybe there must be something to it. You know what I want to do, what I just really want to do at Disney, which, if it was the only thing I could do, that's what I'd want to do. I just want to go to Disney World and have breakfast with the princesses, okay, and take a picture with mickey mouse, that's it. And I want to be dressed like a princess, particularly cinderella, because she's aces. Okay, I love cinderella classic beauty yeah but she comes from rags.
Speaker 2:Okay, she was treated horribly. When people ask me about ariel now we hear that cinderella ariel does not do it for me. She's mean and she's just a teenager. She does a brat. Okay, I like the music from that one, but I'm gonna tell you she ain't my favorite, like she is for some people okay, I want to dress like cinderella. Take pictures with uh the home slices with mickey mouse and then roll.
Speaker 1:Okay, I mean, if anybody knows anybody at Disney that could make this happen, you know, please inbox us.
Speaker 2:But if I go I'm going to have to take my kids. That's okay, Because my kids really want to go and that is the only reason.
Speaker 1:Don't every kid want to go.
Speaker 2:Why I kind of want to go now is because my kids are like that's a magical experience, but I like man.
Speaker 1:I've also heard horror stories too, though you know, I've heard the other side of it like yeah my kids were sick the whole time.
Speaker 2:Yeah, or?
Speaker 1:they, just they. They so miserable because you have to walk so much and or like you need a vacation from your vacation because you're exhausted and let one of them complain at the happiest place and you know they will, you know they will, I'll lose it on them. I know for a fact mine would. My youngest complaining is her favorite thing to do.
Speaker 2:See, that's why I just don't think my heart would be ready for something like that. Y'all put something in the comments. Tell us why it's the most magical place on earth.
Speaker 1:We've never been. I'm sure it's wonderful, I just don't know about that. I don't know um. And lastly, we have grand isle, louisiana. Because who needs florida when you got a camp in grand isle?
Speaker 2:or holly beach or holly.
Speaker 1:I can't believe holly beach didn't make the list that is.
Speaker 2:Is is the from around here. Grand isle, grand isle is on. They call the shores the cajun riviera, but really holly beach is the holly beach is where it's at, you know, and you know what it's on the coast. They call Gulf Shores the Cajun Riviera, but really Holly Beach is the Cajun Riviera. Holly Beach is where it's at and you know what?
Speaker 1:It's getting nicer and nicer every year Because all the old camps got blown away and now the new ones. You know they have to be nice.
Speaker 2:I hear they have a splash pad over there.
Speaker 1:It's up and coming over there in Holly Beach Up and coming in Holly Beach no beach, no, I don't know. And then there's places you can rent. Maybe we ought to rent a place in holly beat. No, look, look, we're filling up that sum already.
Speaker 2:Okay, let's talk about how cajun lady accent and then I want to come back to uh some dream vacations.
Speaker 1:Oh okay, all right. How cajun lady accent? Uh, she got a whole line of cajun seasonings from all-purpose seasoning, blackening seasoning, uh, mexican seasoning. Like she got it all.
Speaker 2:She takes the guesswork out of cooking. When you have a good seasoning, it doesn't matter. Get a meat, season it up and even for vegetables put a little bit of that liquid butter, garlic butter in there, you won't be sorry.
Speaker 1:That'll take your boring green beans and turn them to something delicious Correct, it's true. So go to how the cajun lady accentcom, or check her out on all social media platforms. Uh, you can just search how h-a-l. The cajun lady accent and you're gonna find her. She's there and she's got a lot of good videos of like cooking videos too, to give you some ideas of how to use her seasonings. So, um, she's a dear friend of ours and we thank you, hal, for being a sponsor of our podcast.
Speaker 2:Yes, thank you so much, hal. Okay, all right.
Speaker 1:So I hate to say, like if you could pick one place, but it doesn't have to be only one but like I'll pick one.
Speaker 2:I know which one. Tell me when would you want to go. Well, I guess I have several, but See.
Speaker 1:It's hard to narrow it down.
Speaker 2:I always wanted to go to Hawaii. Oh really, mm-hmm, like Hawaii, like to me that is the most pure form of beach, you know, yeah. And like coconut, and like I don't know, like. I just think everything's so stereotypical about what you would probably think Hawaii to be Okay.
Speaker 1:But I think to me that is probably one of the most magical places on Earth Because just looking at pictures, like you have your lush green mountains with beach. Yes, like you get the best of both worlds. Like when we went to Mexico and you could see some in the distance, a little bit of mountains, I got a taste of like mountains and beach together Like Hawaii, and we never see that. Hawaii would be like 10 times that beauty.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:I would like to go to Hawaii too, because that's where my name comes from and I'm like I would go and find all the places that say Koa on it and just like take a picture with them Koa, koa, koa, koa on it and just like take a picture with them. The name was from a street, uh, that ran in the back of or on the side of, or somewhere near the hotel where my parents stayed it was koa avenue, and my mama that's where, and then it's popular there for other things too, but like that's where my name came from, so I have to go find koa avenue one day. You do, I do, if it's still there.
Speaker 2:Maybe we'll make that happen. Who knows, who knows, cajun mamas might take over hawaii too. I don't know about that, but we'll see. No, it's quite expensive yeah, our mexican um vacation. That was one for the books, very nice that was so nice.
Speaker 1:That's not something. That was a dream vacation too, you know, even though it was quite short. I wish we'd had a couple more days, but I'm thankful for the time we did have.
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 1:That was a dream vacation.
Speaker 2:That was yeah. The scenery, the food, the drinks, everything was on point.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Now you know, we did that, no kids.
Speaker 1:I know yeah.
Speaker 2:That was nice. Yeah, just to get away for a little bit. Now I miss my little children. Now, don't get me wrong because, yes, they always with me and I like it, like that, but um yeah, but we had a good time. That was a nice, that was a nice dream vacation.
Speaker 1:Yes, my mind would be, and I don't know exactly where this is. I just have this picture in my mind. You know those picture crystal clear blue water and those cabins, those little cabans they have over the water. Yes, that's where I want to be and I want to be able to like just dive off into the water from my little caban and climb back up and I want them to like bring me food and stuff in my caban and like take a bath and look at the water. Yeah, and like have a hammock right there on the water and just but nobody's by me, no.
Speaker 2:So if I have no clothes in the bathtub, I want to be like one of those people that sits and looks out into the, you know, but I have nobody looking at my big self.
Speaker 1:Yes, you know, free as a born swallow. You know, yeah, carefree, oh nice, loose and fancy free. No, for real, like turks and caicos. I think is maybe one of those places and I I've like stupid expensive and the flights are like really long and just this probably will never happen, but just saying like a dream.
Speaker 2:Hey, dream big, you never know.
Speaker 1:That would be a dream to be one of those over the water type bungalows.
Speaker 2:But then I couldn't go bother you as much.
Speaker 1:Well, some of them I've seen they have like connecting boardwalks. That'll work That'll work.
Speaker 2:I'll text you before. So, nathan, don't get mad. No, but we have to have some place to have coffee together, because of course you're not going on this vacation without me.
Speaker 1:No, I mean, I just love how you assumed you were coming on my dream vacation with me, yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah. We were together on all of our vacations.
Speaker 1:Yeah. But no, that sounds like a dream for me too. Oh, I have another one too, and oh I don't know. Well then, tell me Okay, Doing like. Tell me Okay, Doing like Greece and what you call Santorini and all that, with the mountain and the white buildings on the side, or just touring Europe like Italy and having real food, Real pasta. Oh my God, and I just eating all the pastry and stuff. I just can picture eating my way through Europe.
Speaker 2:Oh, I would be eating absolutely the pastries just we love a good croissant. We love a croissant so I don't know, like I just in a cafe, what else? But I'd like to go. I'd also like to go to the holy land, even though that's a scary place to be.

Speaker 2:when I was little, there was like a group that she went with and she jerusalem.
Speaker 1:Yeah, israel like yeah, have her tell stories about that one day. Yes, I can remember she was gone for like a week and as a child that's like devastating like my mama, you know.
Speaker 2:But no, she brought you back something a teddy bear from.
Speaker 1:She brought me a teddy bear and she brought me, bought me, some earrings. I think maybe that she bought over there, but anyway oh I see, I was.
Speaker 2:I feel like that would be in another lifetime, like that, when I think of travel that just doesn't seem like it would be for me. But then also, I said that and I've been traveling a lot lately with you with limelight and um and and I don't know. We just I don't, you never I'm never gonna say you can't.
Speaker 1:Never say never like the possibilities, whatever God wants for us, but anyway, it's fun to dream. It's fun to dream. Let us know in the comments what's your dream vacation.
