Mardi Gras

New Orleans needs our love! rebuild NOLA<3

I used to live in New Orleans. “Mardi Gras” is the last Tuesday, the last day. The whole 2 weeks of festivities is called “Carnival”.

I used to love getting dressed up for this when I was a kid, it was like a second halloween.

I went to Mardi Gras 2006 right after Katrina. The city was still a little down in the dumps but I had a blast! The parades were great and the hospitality was endless. It was great to see that the city was trying to get as back to normal as possible.

We had so much fun, it was like being a kid at Christmas. Even better cause it went on for days. We went to 4 parades and that was enough. I had to ship 2 boxes home of beads, cups, mugs, footballs, frisbees, stuffed animals and more beads. Everyone should do this at least once.
Hopefully the city made out well, they need the help. We did our part and spent alot of yankee cash. We went to the aquarium, Global Wildlife and some really good restaurants.
