It’s Mardi Gras…February 27, 2011

The Mardi Gras season is in full swing with parades and activities happening everywhere.  I know a lot of folks believe that New Orleans is the home of Mardi Gras but it actually began in Mobile, Al which is just a few miles from our park in Fairhope.

We went to our first parade this afternoon in Fairhope…the Mystic Mutts of Revelry.  It is certainly my favorite parade.  Here are a few pictures.091

Snooki and The Situation from The Jersey Shore…er, I mean the Eastern Shore.

We then hung around for the night parade put on by the Knights of the Ecor Rouge…this year’s theme was Toyland.  Unfortunately it is very hard to get pictures after dark.  We ran into friends from our park and had a great evening.

Chris, Larry and I are waiting patiently…
