Tuesday 02-09-16 (Mardi Gras)

It couldn't have been a better morning for Mardi Gras and the Super Bowl parade. Temps started in the upper teens and went into the low 40s in the mountains and near 60 in Denver. Over 800,000 people attended the parade in downtown Denver. Our focus was on attending the Mari Gras parade in Breckenridge. We went to Copper Mtn to ski and conditions were great. Very few people on the slopes. At lunch time, people were eating outside on the tables. We left around 1:30pm to get ready for the parade which started at 4pm. There were many floats and the people on them were throwing beads. The parade ended at Main Street Station where there was music and gumbo . Since it was still early, we went to Copper Mtn to listen to the end of Moe Dixon's Mardi Gras at JJs. Went we got there they were dancing on the tables already. It was a fun and long day.
