Saturday afternoon part of the family gathered at Mardi Gras World. We couldn't offer our cousins a Mardi Gras parade, so we settled for the next best thing. Kevin and Wynette Dobard and daughters Allison and Amanda joined us from Georgia.

| Ready to tour Mardi Gras World. |
 |
| We had a private tour. |
After the tour ended, we wandered through the enormous warehouse / workshop.
 |
| Louis Armstrong was there. |
 |
| So was General DeGaulle |
 |
| Costumes on display |
 |
| Romain as a jester. |
 |
Lloyd helps Valli. I thought this angle was more
interesting than the one from the front. |
 |
| Bernard found a prop reminiscent of his bacon-and-eggs dinner |
 |
| Some of the items were from previous years' floats. |
 |
Pat Dobard & the Daubards taking a break
near floats under construction. |
 |
My favorite: a turkey vulture.
Don't ask ... lol |
R&R at the Riverwalk
 |
When we left Mardi Gras World, we headed over
to the Riverwalk for a little rest, relation and shopping.
The café was on the Spanish Plaza. |
 |
While we were relaxing, a cruise ship departed
for a few days in the Caribbean. |
In a little while we were to board the Creole Queen, a much smaller ship, for the evening's activity.
