Is it Mardi Gras Already?

Is it that time already?? Wow! 2009 is flying by.

Last weekend was wonderful. My best friend Julia came in town with her husband for Valentine's day. We had a wonderful weekend filled with good food and lots of fun! We had charbroiled oysters Friday night at Drago's which are amazing, and then Saturday night we did a fancy dinner at Dickie Brennan's Steakhouse. Both were super yummy. And since they are both located downtown, we were able to catch the parades. We spent Saturday during the day shopping and people watching in the french quarter, which was interesting as always since the mardi gras craziness had begun. Overall, the weekend was a total blast and I was super sad when she left on Sunday morning! I wish we lived closer to each other because we always have so much fun when we're together.


Tomorrow my younger sister arrives from NYC with a friend for mardi gras, and we have a full weekend planned! Tomorrow night we are heading over to a friend from works house to watch the parade. On Saturday, we'll watch the day parades with a friend of mine from high school and the evening parades with a friend of my sisters. Sunday is still up in the air, but needless to say its shaping up to be a fun mardi gras weekend! Hope you all have a great weekend!!
