Mardi Gras break, nine days to do whatever you want. Mardi Gras break is a break that is perfectly timed every year because it gives you a taste of summer. There is a lot of things to do during the week, going to parades, skiing, the beach...etc. Mardi Gras was invented in Mobile, Alabama, even though many people might assume that it started in New Orleans. Many of the parades in New Orleans are Uptown. My favorite part about Mardi Gras besides a break from school is the king cakes.

There are over 60 flavors of king cakes ranging from the classic cinnamon to Pineapple Pecan. There are hundreds of floats that are created each year just for Mardi Gras. Tourism is booming during Mardi Gras because everyone wants to experience it and go to the parades. Every time I go to a parade, I always get hundreds of beads and they weigh a lot. I never know what to do with all the beads because they don't really have a purpose beside decoration. Overall, Mardi Gras is a fun and enjoyable time and I look forward to this coming Mardi Gras Break.
