Mardi Gras 2009

In the words of Bobby Jindal, “Good evening, and happy Mardi Gras.” ;-) Sadly, Carnival season, my favorite time of year, came to an end this week. The festivities really got going on Thursday and didn’t stop until Tuesday night. That’s why it has taken me this long to muster the strength to post some pictures. Besides copious amounts of beer, we indulged in local seafood and the obligatory king cake here and there.

Mr. Okra even made an appearance.

I hope your Mardi Gras was fun too!!!
