We had a fun visit to New Orleans for Mardi Gras. We generally go the first weekend as it is less crowded and easier with young kids, but this year we went down for the main weekend. We lucked out and got beautiful weather with the exception of our drive down, which was fine, because the kids are always better behaved at the onset of a trip!
I had a fun time celebrating Brian's grandmother's 88th birthday. We all met at Commander's Palace and ate delicious food and shared many stories. Each year in life is a blessing and I can only hope to be as energetic and spirited as Mi Mi Kuhn is at 88 years old.
As for actually parading, we only made it to the day parades on Saturday. Logan and Catherine were both a bit afraid of the loud noises but warmed up to them quicker this year than in prior years. We watch the parades from my sister in law's family house and it is a perfect spot! Logan adores his partner in crime and cousin, Michael. Catherine had so much fun she literally fell asleep outside in the middle of the parade.
