Mardi Gras

[go-fish]

We just had our local Mardi Gras parade. It came right in front of the house. It was a nice family type parade. Not the kind on Bourban Street.

If that little girl is anything like mine she thinks she's rich now with all that bling bling lol, great picture.

Man I miss the 3 years I lived in New Orleans.  We lived on the West Bank and had 3 parades on the first weekend go right past our house, then downtown for Zulu, Bacchus, Endimian, and several other great ones.  Talk about a non-stop party.

Wow, that sucks.  That's pretty close to one of the spots we used to go to.

I've got a friend that was down there, I need to call her. Don't worry, she's too short to get hit by any bullets.

Just wish it would have been Mardi Gras when I went down there.  I did get to see some of the sites though and it was pretty cool then also.  I had to get my passport down there before I left to come over here.  Looks like the little girl was pleased as punch with what she got and had a lot of fun to go with it.
