Mardi Gras in Pensacola

Today we went downtown Pensacola to see the Illuminated Parade of Floats. We met some friends of Mike and Joanne in town at O'Reilly Irish Pub, sitting outside enjoying drinks, a bite to eat, and good conversation. The parade started at 7:30 and went on for about 90 minutes. Beads and other items were tossed from the Floats and we battled with everyone for beads, stuffed animals and moon pies. Mike and Joanne piled any beads they caught on Jim and I also....it was great fun.
