Waiting for Mardi Gras is so nerve racking. Honestly it is the biggest time of the year for my family. We go to what we say (NOLA) ,which is New Orleans, Louisiana. Mardi Gras is basically the biggest time of the year in New Orleans. Thousands of people from all over the country fly and drive out to the Party City. There are thousands of people who line the streets dressed up ready to snag beads and other goodies thrown out from the floats. There are about 25-50 floats for one parade and all the floats are themed nicely and decorated beautiful.The best treats to eat are the king cakes, which are AMAZING!!! My moms husband's family is apart of the ZULU Parade that we get on every year, It is the most incredible experience.
