Mardi Gras!

Well, maybe I will start getting a bit excited. This weekend we have an overnight road trip to Shreveport for the annual "Mardi Gras Upriver" ride. I've never been to a true Mardi Gras parade. On Saturday is the Krewe of Gemini parade. It about 240 miles but we are leaving at 8 am so should get there in time for the parade but won't have lots of time to spare.

Shreveport Mardi Gras is apparently not nearly as wild as New Orleans but is also apparently a very large event. Hopefully we'll be able to obtain some beads and maybe even get some opportunities to throw our own....

Other Notes... Superbowl weekend, Go Giants! We'll be back in plenty of time for the game and no doubt several hours of pregame activities.

Also, just posted, Hooters is having their 25th anniversary this year. They have their passport and associated wing parties. We have attended several wing parties over the past two years so it would be nice to be able to host one for a change. I thought it was limited to Texas Hooters but the rules state 25 stamps globally so with our trips that may make it easier.
