What the ????

Mardi Gras Edition

As you may have heard, Mardi Gras gets a little wild.

One of the great things about Mardi Gras is that you can get away with ANYTHING.

Wear anything, yell anything, drink anything.

Things are ok there that are not socially acceptable anywhere else. Ever.

Here are a few things I saw this year that made me say

What the french??

First and foremost.

Girls walking around topless with their tatas painted.

I only saw one person do this, but dang.

Bold move.

She even took pictures with random people.

Luckily this girl had a very nice rack, otherwise it could have been offensive.

Shocking? Maybe a little at first, but oh well.

If ya got it flaunt it.

Grown people fighting over parade paraphernalia.

Beads, frisbies, stuffed animals, cups. Oh the cups.

You would think it was the last cup in Louisiana.

People take this stuff extremely seriously.

Cross dressers.

Im not here to judge.

But some of these (mostly guys) people are just plain ridiculous.

I mean I know its Mardi Gras and like i said, anything goes,

and these people take full advantage.

It mostly consists of a lot of paint.

Not a lot of clothes.

And HIGH heels.

Get it "guurl"

Drink prices.

This is a given, obviously.

You CAN find good deals, but for the most part, its an arm and a leg.

And maybe even your first born.

Can't put a price on fun though, right??

But really, you cant.

It was all worth every penny.

And I  will be back next year to spend all my pennies again!

If you missed my Mardi Gras weekend recap, you can find it below!
I MIGHT have a little Mardi Gras VLOG coming soon.
Whoo hoo!

Mardi Gras!

So last night David and I got home from Mardi Gras.

We had so much fun, of course!

We spent the entire day Sunday going to parades.

It was surprisingly cold, but after a while that didn't matter.

If ya know what I mean.

We got to to the French Market around 11am and shopped around.

Then we got some drinks, and headed  to the parades.

They pretty much came non stop, until 7 that night.

If you have never been, take my word guys.

It is SO. MUCH.FUN.

Last year was my first time to go, and I will be going every year.

Starting our day off right!

There is so much to do, and so much people watching to be had.

Endless bars, shops, restaurants, drink stands, food trucks.

You could never run out of things to do.

Just walking around is completely entertaining.

Me and David,  with his brother and his girlfriend.

Crazy costumes!

I think Mardi Gras has a reputation for being crazier than it actually is.

I mean there are TONS of people, but it's also pretty kid friendly.

Especially during the day. It is pretty G rated.

I saw a ton of people there with kids.

Our nephew was actually with us,and he is 8 years old.

We didn't stay out super late, but we were on Bourbon St

until around 10 or so and I don't think I saw anyone flashing for beads.

 

At the parades 

JELLO!

It was such a fun weekend.

And I had the best king cake ever!!

I brought one home as a souvineer.

HAPPY FAT TUESDAY!!!

I will see you next year, Mardi Gras:)

Roadtrip preview :-)

Well, we made it here to NOLA! 

It is raining cats and dogs, but that's ok:)

Tomorrow the weather is supposed to clear up,

and we will be ready for a full day of parading!

Here are some of my roadtrip pictures that pretty much consist

of pictures I took in the car during an 8 hour car ride.

AKA boredom pictures. Enjoy!

 Community coffee. Better than Starbucks. Maybe kinda sorta.
