Are you ready for a photo overload?
I just spent a fabulous week in New Orleans.
From start to finish, it was quite an adventure!
Here are a few pictures to recap the trip:

Dressed and ready to have some fun :)

We arrived just in time for the start of the parade at the Endymion ball!

So pretty...

Mardi Gras is not something to be missed!

Some of my bead catching buddies :)
