Mardi Gras New Orleans

In New Orleans, Mardi Gras has always been one of my favorite times. There is just something about people dancing through the streets, wearing beautiful masks and parades on every corner that seems to epitomize life.

Last year we took my daughter to a St. Patrick's day parade in New Orleans. I blogged a couple photos here. She had a blast! This year we decided to go back for the first weekend of Mardi Gras. We could not have asked for better weather. It was a beautiful weekend and such a fun and memorable trip.

 

 Early Saturday morning walk through the French Quarter.

 

Delicious coffee and beignets at the famous Cafe Du Monde.

One of the Krewe of Choctaw parade floats.

So much fun! Maybe we should make this a tradition?
