Last Night in New Orleans

Our spot to watch the parade go by...

Our time in New Orleans would not be complete without a Mardi Gras parade, and lucky for us, the family friendly parades began on Wed evening, our last night there!! Here are a few pictures of our first (and only) Mardi Gras parade. I apologize for the picture quality, our iPod doesn't take very good photographs in low lighting. We pulled out of New Orleans yesterday morning, after one more breakfast of beignets, and began making our way north. Overall, we had a GREAT time in the "Big Easy" and we were glad to get out when we did...before the craziness of Mardi Gras begins!!

"Old Glory" leading the way!!

The jazz band in the gutted school bus...

 

More floats...

 

 

Spectators of all sizes...

 

Do you think they got enough beads?
