Mardi Gras Day

We got downtown about 8am in the morning and found a great parking place that was free. HEHE You have to be a real Mardi Gras person to do that. We went to the Spot of Tea for breakfast and then walked over to the other side of the parade route to buy a t-shirt. The day was packed full of parades starting with the Order of Athena at 10:30. There was a break so we walked back to the car to get a drink. The next set of parades started at 12:30pm with the Knights of Revelry followed by the MCA court and King Felix and his Queen. Finally the Comic Cowboys finished out the midday fun. I went home to change into my dress and hat for the KOR reception. The MAMGA's Mammoth parade was at 3:30pm but I missed it because I was at the reception. The Mammoth parade is a huge parade, the largest on Mardi Gras day. Finally, the fun, exciting but sad end to the day, the Order of Myths rolled at 6:30. I love their parade but I always get a little teary because I know when that last float passes by me that it is all over for another year.
