Mardi Party!
When I was 19, I went down to Soulard for the first time to indulge in the Mardi Gras celebration. It was even fun to look back at my blog and see how I celebrated last year. Pretty much the same story this year. Party at our friends' house (thanks Kate), walk to Soulard, enjoy the Captain Tent, and have a blast!
It was a bit colder this year...and VERY windy!!!
Had so much fun in the Captain Test again!!! Love that place :)
I really wonder when we will stop coming down? Hopefully never. I was so sore when I woke up on Sunday morning. Especially my arm from holding my huge purse all day. Then next morning, I realized that I was carrying around a bottle of water all day and bottles of beer earlier in the day. No wonder it was so heavy. Leslie and I even had our men hold them on our walk back to the car.
That's it. I love Mardi Gras. AND...I love Kate's dogs!
Yay for Winnie and Cloenstein!
We haven't been since 2006 and I realize that makes me an old hag. I look back on the 5 Mardi Gras I attended with a smile....but I can honestly say that I can't hang anymore. The thought of drinking ALL DAY LONG makes me ache all over. My god, we have some crazy Gras memories from those 5 years.
But I must say, when you are sore from carrying your purse the next day and you aren't dying from a hangover, that means you are a stud. So keep it up, youngin!
