Do you have any plans for Fat Tuesday?
I have never celebrated Mardi Gras, and I feel like this year I am old enough to really enjoy this holiday. Do you have ideas? I am in Texas, so New Orleans isn't too far, but I am not sure how expensive that would be.

I hate mardi gras. Only redeeming factor is this year I get a week off LOL I am planning on staying home in bed!

Wow, a week off for Mardi Gras! I dont know anybody that gets this holiday off. Why do you hate the holiday? Other than Halloween, its the only holiday where you get to dress up in costumes and have fun!

From birth my Mother drug our entire family to parade - rain or shine, hot or freezing cold. When you grow up in the area it just isn't that fun. Businesses close early, streets get blocked off, the traffic gets so much worse. To see a parade on Mardi Gras day and get a "good" spot, you have to get up insanely early, camp out in a spot for a while (usually at least an hour) before the parade starts. If you are "in the know" you have a good place - or at least inside - to eat lunch with a bathroom. Otherwise it is picnicking on the neutral ground and using portalets. Halloween is fun, Mardi Gras, not so much.

I can understand why someone who grew up with that would not be as excited about it, but I have not, and I think I would enjoy the holiday. Thank you for the input, and advice!
