Mardi Gras--What is it like?
DD is senior in high school and the color guard from their NJROTC unit will be marching in a parade on Feb. 9th. (Don't know which parade just yet.) She will be going to New Orleans on the bus with her unit and staying at a Navy base. DH and I are also going to watch her in the parade. We will be driving down there and staying in a hotel for 3 nights. The unit is only staying 2 nights. After the parade on Saturday, DD will be with us from that point on. She has the okay of her commander.
What are some things we should try to see and do while we are there? We have never been this far south. (We live in northeast TN.) DH and I don't mind stopping along the way to look at interesting sites (quilt stores for me!!). We will be using his Garman (sp?) for directions.
This trip will be a part of DD's graduation gift. She will also be going to Maine for a week later this spring.
