Happy St. Patrick's Day

Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone! I hope you are wearing green so you don't get pinched today. I celebrated this past Saturday at the St. Patty's Day Parade in Jackson. If you didn't already celebrate then go enjoy some green beer! See you tomorrow.

Lots of Love, Natalie

 

Krewe of Endymion

Well here is the big surprise instead of making a king cake I decided why not make a day trip to New Orleans enjoy some king cake and see the Krewe of Endymion parade. I mean what kind of blogger would I be if I didn't make that sacrifice to bring you a front row seat to one of the oldest and biggest parades of the season. Also when I say front row I mean it, we got there three hours ahead of the time it would be to us. Plus the police did not barricade the part where we were so I literally could walk up to the floats and take pictures. The best part about this little trip was finding out that my uncle was riding in this parade this year! I hope you enjoy your front row seat to 2014 Krewe of Endymion!

Lots of Love, Natalie

Oh My Bacchus

Beads, Doubloons, and Bacchus oh my! That simple sentence completely sums up Mardi Gras. At this time of year you can go down almost any street in the city and find strings of beads hanging from the trees and a few Doubloons on the ground. With that being said if you haven't heard of Bacchus then you don't know Mardi Gras. The Bacchus parade is one of the most influential parades of the whole celebration. The Krewe of Bacchus Parade is always the best one simply because it is so elaborate. Each year there is a theme and King. Will Ferrell was the King of the 2012 Parade and he threw out mini cowbells which makes a MSU fan like me proud! This year it will be held on March 2nd at 5:15pm. Below are some of their signature floats that I found on their website Krewe of Bacchus.
