Getting Our Mardi Gras On As Best We Can

Liz and really wanted to be down in Panama City Beach (PCB), Florida, this weekend because of their annual Mardi Gras parade and celebration.  Sadly, due to the hurricane this past fall, the Driftwood Lodge has been sold out for months, so no go for us.

The parade actually passes by the front of the motel (and it is one of those old mom and pop motels you so rarely see anymore on PCB where the sky seems to be the limit in height).  To me, that just isn't beach.

Anyway, I looked up PCB's schedule for today and tomorrow and I'll tell you WHAT we WOULD have been doing:

Friday:

7 pm--  Second Line Parade Crawl  Pier Park

7:30 to 8:30 pm--  Chubby Carrier & the Bayou Swamp Band at Celebration Stage

8:30 pm--  fireworks

SATURDAY

Noon to 1:15 pm:  Chicks With Hits:  Terri Clark, Pam Tillis, Suzy Boggus  at Aaron Bessant Park

1:30 to 2:45 pm--  Lonestar  at Aaron Bessant Park

4:15 to 5:45 pm--  Krewe of Dominique Youx Mardi Gras Parade

5:45 pm--  Waylon Thibodeaux  Celebration Stage

7:00 pm--  Fireworks

And, weather there Saturday is supposed to be 70 degrees, but thunderstorms.  Weather here in Spring Grove today has a high of  31 degrees.  Right now, at 6:46 am it is 26 degrees with snow falling.

I don't know if I should be hoping they get thunderstorms or not.
