Ever wonder about all those amazing floats you see at Mardi Gras?  Ok, I haven’t been to the actual Mardi Gras parade either, but now I can say I’ve been to “Mardi Gras World”.  This place was an amazing warehouse, design studio, and of course, gift shop, all in one.  The place is run by 3 generations of a family that must know how to party.

Summer and Rachel enjoyed dressing up and annoying some of the props.  (Grandma – did you know that if you click on one of the pictures it will bring up a larger slideshow-type version?  Donna – I bet you knew that!)

The floats and how they build them was really cool to see.  If only we can get back here and see them for the parade…
