Take a Break and Enjoy Life, Friends, Oh… and Alcohol!

Last year at this time… Kim and I took our annual “Let it All Hang Out” vacation and went on a cruise. This year, we are heading to Mardi Gras and by the time you read this… we are well on our way into either getting there, or thoroughly enjoying the company of friends and family going with us!

Drew Brees is the 2010 King of the Bacchus Parade – and I gotta say, after winning last weeks Superbowl – this is going to be one hell of party! We WILL take plenty of pictures and video to share when I get back! (Well… we’ll share the “Safe for Work” one’s anyhow)

The entire point of this post… Take a break, breathe… enjoy your family, and more importantly, decompress, and enjoy your life!

You only make the trip around this life once… Make the Most of it!

    Have a great time, Mark. Thanks for the reminder to decompress. It’s timely advice today!

    Ok…we totally want boobie pictures when you get back…because…well….because guys love boobie pictures. :-)

    I am heading to Tampa Bay in a few weeks with some of my friends from work. We rented a beach house and we’re going to spend the days drinking and fishing in the Gulf of Mexico.

    Should be fun.

    Have fun in New Orleans.

    I hear you on the vacation thing. I’m leaving on Monday for my annual “Mancation” with my buddies to go skiing in Park City, Utah. I’m leaving the computer behind so I can focus on strictly shredding the gnar and partying.

    I agree with Bill’s statement above.

    No way! Ken and I are on our way there too! I sent you an email with my cell number – let’s share some beads and some hurricanes! *SmiLes* Suzanne

    I’m visiting my sister in Houston and we’re making the most of the alcohol portion of Mardi Gras.

    Have a great time. New Orleans is my favorite city in the world.

    Laize le bon temp roulet! (probably mangled the spelling of that one)

    I’ll take a breather as soon as I recover from the damage done by a hacker. I’ll need to decompress after this. Your recent message about Ben Johnson’s post was timely. Injected code blows.

    many people love this city… many people hate it (new orleans). I have lived here for 5 years now and i can tell you from my experience that we have the best food in the world, as long as you don’t ask what it is, and we will find any excuse to throw a party. This is the only city that i know of with “drive-thru” daquari shops and restaraunts where you can get “to-go” CUPS… for your beer… :)

    @ All –

    Man… what a time we had! :-) From driving down in super-rare southern snow storm, to seeing lots of _________, and drinking GALLONS of_________.

    Insert you favorite sights – and beverage, yup. Saw it – and Did it! :-)

    Suzanne – I didn’t even check messages while we were there or I would have definitely found a way to share a cocktail or twelve!

    OMGosh! We had so much fun! That would’ve been awesome to hook up with you guys. Maybe next year ;) *SmiLes*
