Gettin' Our Mardi Gras ON-- Part 6: The Day Arrives

TUESDAY, MARCH 5

The day before Lent arrives.  Time to fatten up and party.  And, we did.

First, we drove to Twin Lakes, Wisconsin,  after gathering up our Mardi Gras tree and beads we caught down in Panama City Beach and Panama City.  Then to Bodi's on Twin Lakes' Main Street.  It's an old time kind of bakery.

We picked up our King Cake which was huge and decorated with beads, masks and two babies.  One on top and one baked inside.  It is good luck if you find the inside baby if you don't accidentally eat it and choke.  They also had probably thirty different kinds of Polish paczkis and we picked up four different ones.

Then, on to Donovan's Reef where they were having their own Mardi Gras party.  Bartender Heather had also gone to a bakery and stocked up on paczkis, plus they had Hurricane and Grenade drinks for $3.25.

Everyone got a piece of King Cake and pieces of paczkis.

When we left there, we also went to Sunnyside Tap in Johnsburg to finish off our Mardi Gras Day.

Good Times Here Anyway.  --Roadpaczki
