Highland parade, shreveport mardi gras 2012
Day two of our shreveport mardi gras trip of 2012:
started the day with champagne grilled oysters, and a margarita from the Oyster bar. then off to the highland parade.
we lost most of our group and #2 son managed to march at the front of the parade for a while.
krewe of bbq throws hot-dogs. and kat catches one every year!
I couldn't resist. the lovely princess in pink was puffing on her cigarette as she huffed along pushing the baby... one of the most annoying parts of going to shreveport, the tobacco smokers.
we went by a party after the parade, then we went to eat some mexican food and then to another party.... the party at marylin's place had crawfish and live music by dirtfoot. my iphone battery died and things got a bit wild, as to be expected. lots of smokers (tobacco) and a guy lost his lunch, but didn't stop.
and monday morning we packed it up and stopped off at herby k's for one last meal.
I couldn't decide between the fried oyster and shrimp po-boy or the crawfish etouffee, so I got both.
made it home in 5 hours
