As we all know, Mardi Gras is a big annual event in New Orleans and in fact along most of the Gulf (of Mexico) Coast; this year Fat Tuesday (this is what the French phrase “mardi gras” translates to in English…) was yesterday, Tuesday February 5th, 2008.
My Mom’s side of my family hails from the Mississippi / Alabama Gulf Coast areas and New Orleans. Someday I’ll post photos of the big ole house my grandmother grew up in in the French Quarter of New Orleans. One of my fondest family memories is going to visit my Grandmother at her home in Gulfport, MS and the two us going to about a half dozen local Mardi Gras parades in little towns along the coast over a period of several days during Mardi Gras one year and meeting up with other relatives in Mobile (AL) for Fat Tuesday.
Yo, they don’t know from Mardi Gras here in New Jersey
