Since it’s Mardi Gras, I figured I’d look back a mere year, when my family had what we call “Accidental Mardi Gras.” It wasn’t actually Fat Tuesday, but we’d forgotten it was Carnival season, so it was a surprise when Tom, David, Geri, Debby, Aaron and I took a day trip to Galveston and stumbled into it. It’s a good thing that something was going on, since it was too foggy in the coastal city to do much except enjoy the crowds, the beads, the mini parades, and the funnel cakes.
My family is always a good time, whatever the season. Here are a few images that I don’t think I’ve shared before, but if they’re repeats, so be it. Laissez les bons temps rouler!
OoooH! Lots of shiny beads!
I know! They all go in the “Treasure Chest” and get sent with all other goodies accumulated over the year to my great nieces and nephews up north at Christmas.
I’ve never been to a Mardi Gras celebration, but I would absolutely love to! Some day.
New Orleans awaits!
