<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CoinCorgi, post: 8234015, member: 88934&quot;]I think that Mardi Gras is so much more fun for a kid than it is for adults. Kids had no worries in the world of course, but instead, a sincere desire for experience.</p><p><br /></p><p>Our typical Mardi Gras Tuesday was to get up early enough to drive across the bridge to get to downtown, watch Pete Fountain, then wander on down St. Charles to watch the Rex, Elks and Crescent City parades followed by a long walk back to the French Quarter to get some beignets at Cafe du Monde, exploring the various t-shirt stores (which had black light rooms in the back with all of the cool hippy, peace and grateful dead keep on trucking posters), a quick stop at St. Louis Cathedral because we&#039;re Catholic, a slow stroll around Jackson Square to look at all the local street painters hawking their ware, and then a stroll down Bourbon Street to take in the spectacle of costumes and take a quick peak into the strip clubs before the door man noticed that a 8 year old was trying to sneak a peak. The whole time listening to the live jazz soundtrack emanating from the bars. Mom and Dad not giving a damn whether or not us kids were being exposed to such debauchery <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. Then the slow drive back over the bridge to home and a well deserved night of sleep before school the next day.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
