Mardi Gras 2012

Mardi Gras 2012 was a rousing success. Both boys loved everything about it. And while a not surprisingly tiring experience, it was worth every second. We stayed off of Poydras St, which was a perfect area to catch a parade, not a lot of traffic nor "riff raff" and plenty of people sharing in beads and fun. Jacob and Patrick love hotels and restaurants as well so this was the perfect experience for the little ones.

Windy!
