February 24, 2009 Mardi Gras, Lafayette, Louisiana!
We had so much fun at the parades this year! My family and neighbors set up a wonderful spot along the parade route on UL's campus under the gorgeous oak trees. The guys bring the trailers, BBQ pit, port-o-potty, chairs etc. at 4:30 am to ensure we have the same (and BEST) spot every year. In between parades, we retreat to our little area and eat burgers and king cake and enjoy one another's company. Friends wander by and stop for a chat or a bite to eat. I always look forward to going home for Fat Tuesday and seeing familiar faces and catching up with old friends.
