So I’ve been gone for a bit in New Orleans and then recovering from New Orleans 🙂
It was for a work conference and then turned into my sister’s bachelorette weekend and it was so much fun!
Here are some pictures from our travels-
Enjoyed staying at the Roosevelt– love that hotel- so much CHARACTER!
and we went to Mardi Gras world– loved seeing the artists make those amazing floats
showing us how they sketch the idea for the float and then start carving it out of styrofoam- after that they carefully paper-mache the whole piece and then paint it-
This was how they used to make them back before styrofoam-pretty intricate
Painting the scary werewolf face…
These are HUGE
we found a harp! (wonder what it was used for?)
Hubs found his favorite ninja turtle 🙂
Loved these old popeye and olive ones stuffed in the corner
So tall!
off to see the wizard!
Cute giant panda
the paper flowers that covered the floats were amazing!
As you can see I loved touring the float making warehouse- coming up more posts about what we did the most (hint: eat and drink) 🙂
