Happy Mardi Gras!

It seems like just yesterday that we were all there, but really it was 13 years ago,


when my Birmingham JVC roommates and I graced the streets of New Orleans and celebrated Mardi Gras.  We headed off after work on Friday and I don't think we slept until we were back in the car on Sunday.  We met up with our other fellow JVCers and headed out to Bourbon Street. We walked up and down the street fully engulfed with people, beads being thrown all over, and drinks being drunk.  We visited many different bars and then headed home in the wee hours of the morning.  When we got back to the house, there was only floor space left since there were close to 20 of us staying there that night.  The following day we went and watched the parade


and then were back to Bourbon Street for a night of dancing, drinking, and dancing.

We had a great time throughout the weekend and left with many beads. (No! I didn't have to show anything to get mine.)  Miss you girls!
