And its finally here!!! Our famous Mardi Gras parades have started. In case you didn't know what Mardi Gras is, its a series of awesome parades that start happening around this time in Febuary. It originally started in the 1700s and has been around ever since. I know at one point in your life you've heard of Mardi Gras, and I don't blame you if you instantly think of New Orleans, but just to set the record straight, Mardi Gras originated in a little town called Mobile and I guess New Orleans loved our idea so much they just had to steal it. If anyone tries to tell you different, you can set them straight. Now when Mardi Gras comes around, there's this awesome thing that always comes with it...King Cake. Its the best thing you'll ever taste, the catch is though, if you eat it at any other time of the year besides Mardi Gras, you'll have bad luck for the whole year. And in every King Cake, theres a little plastic baby, whoever gets it has to buy the next cake. So while your down, go to WalMart in Gulf Shores and stock up on things that are purple, gold, and green and head to Mobile. If you don't wanna drive that far everytime you wanna see a parade, we just so happen to have some in Orange Beach and Gulf Shores, I'll give ya'll a link to both the Mobile parade site, and our local parades, because it's definitely something that everyone needs to participate in!
