Sunday, February 14, 2010 - Valentines Mardi Gras






Living the dream as my girls call it...I am believing them. I left the motor home in Biloxi and headed to New Orleans in the Hyundai. Arrived at "Chateau Bourbon" at about 1 pm, but couldn't check into the room until three. Guess I will have to go check out the area and I didn't have to go very far. There was a parade on the next block and I got my first set of beads (no, I didn't have to do anything spectacular to get them). Around the block from our hotel there was balconies and all the stories you have heard are true. I mean guys doing push ups for beads. Cheryl suggested I don't put those pictures on the blog. Mom, Dad, Jeff and Vivian showed up about 7 pm and I was already pre gamed, so I told them to catch up, but I don't think they ever did, because I never slowed down. I am paying for it now (I think I will have to go to a Bill W meeting with Dad). We went to dinner in our hotel after checking out another parade that Drew Bree's was in on the same block I saw the first parade. After dinner we took a stroll around the block, where I had to share the "balcony scene" with the family. Oh yeah, Cheryl and the girls sent me nice cards and candy for Valentines Day, now that is what I call living the dream!!!
