mardi gras 2011

WHOO HOO!! we made it to new orleans for mardi gras 2011! loves it!

we left milwaukee around 5:30 on Sunday afternoon.... drove 16 hours (plus a stop overnight) and dun dun dun made it there in one piece by Monday afternoon. so Monday we did a lot of walking around and taking in all the sights and sounds and parades and beads. we also met up with some of ben's friends who happened to be down there at the same time.

tuesday rolled around and we had a blast walking around on bourbon street and watching the parades during the day. tuesday night we paid to get up on a balcony with all you can eat and all you can drink from six until midnight. very fun throwing beads out to the people down below!!!

anywho, on wednesday morning we hopped in the car again and drooooooove drove drove because I had to be to work by 9am on Thursday morning. we rolled in at 5:30am.....
