THE LAST OF IT...
I've been a bad blogger lately... and I blame it on the New Orleans trip (and a few other things that I hope to reveal shortly). And this is me putting an end to all of these posts!!!!
Below are a few pictures from our last day (which was packed full of a couple really awesome activities). Let's see... Marching in Box of Wine Parade, where we saw some really awesome costumes (by this point I'm starting to wonder if the locals own any normal clothing...). Big Berth made her mark and had lots of folks in the parade and watching the parade laughing... dying laughing really! We kept saying... "We've got a missin' person!". After walking all the way though the St. Charles parade route we were taken to an office building where a friend of our host was throwing a little get together. We were treated to some great homemade food and drinks and I have to say the highlight of that day was being invited to enjoy their grand stand. We were able to see two great parades... Bacchus and Endymion. What an experience to be able to watch the parade on eye level with all of the floats. It was really fantastic!
So thats it... it was a trip I don't think I will ever forget.
Now... moving on to a different subject FINALLY! (I really need to find a way to edit down photos... it's so tough!!)
XOXO

NOLA - BOURBON STREET PARTY PAD
As I said before, Mr. D and I took a trip to New Orleans for Mardi Gras. It was such a great time... we were able to be a part of a party like no other... all thanks to our great hosts who have called NOLA home for 20 years. The locals Mardi Gras is the way do do it if you are going to visit. And now I'll just the the madness speak for itself (with a little narration, I may need to explain myself at times!).
Read more and see pictures!
