It's finally Mardi Gras!

After all of the buildup - it's finally here. We couldn't have asked for better weather on this trip. We dodged the rain bullet no less than 3 times.

Today we are celebrating the actual Mardi Gras day at one of the largest Mardi Gras celebrations in southern Louisiana - downtown Lafayette.


MmmmHmm - KingCake. The corner stone of any nutritional breakfast.




I ask you - where else can you get a Fo Dolla Pork Steak sammich while some boys are throwin down some mad dominos in the background?!?





B.F.F.
New F.F. - or at least for the duration of Mardi Gras. (Yes, she is standing on a cooler)


What Mardi Gras day is complete without some boiled crawfish?!?

L'aissez les bon temps rouller!

Thanks Tiff! I appreciate the comment especially since there were gusts at 30mph that day which made it impossible to have a good hair day (winds were a prelude to the destructive winds and tornados that hit the South later that evening!)And I hate to tell you but Whole Foods in La. has King Cake type stuff. . .Mitch and Tiff - when are you guys gonna come down with Jason for a visit?
