Here I am once again, sharing the photos for Tuesday Travels. I would like to thank you all for visiting my post last week and for the comments. I can't wait to visit your blogs and see the places you've been to this week.
These photos were taken last February when we went to Mississippi for Mardi Gras Parades in Ocean Springs, Biloxi and D'Iberville.
We love visiting Mississippi because of the country setting, amazing view of the Gulf Coast, awesome beach, the taste of crawfish, gumbo and blue crabs.
This particular parade was in D'Iberville, one of the biggest Mardi Gras Parades happen here.
From the beginning to end, the krewes on the decorative floats throw beads to the crowd.
They also throw moon pies, stuff toys, and other stuffs.
Basically, the people go to the parade to see the different floats with lavish decors, catch the beads, have fun and get together with family. I am having fun here LOL.
It is a big tradition in the South particularly in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama.
The picture above is the picture of my family.
I love Mardi Gras and I love catching beads. I send those beads back home. Have you been to a Mardi Gras? Go visit New Orleans, it's spectacular! See you in your blog.
When it comes to Mardi Gras, I always remember Sinulog Festivals.

Re: The husband is a teacher by heart. He was an engineer as his first profession but he realized that teaching is in his innate nature. He wants to help the learners learn Math the easiest way and I am thankful he got to do that with his chosen field now. :)
