Front Row at Hannah Montana - Mardi Gras in New Orleans 2008

When it comes to setting up epic moments for your kids to remember for life, few things can top flying to New Orleans for Mardi Gras and seeing Hannah Montana inches from the stage.

Mardi Gras in New Orleans!

Thanks to Hannah Montana and the Stoken Family, the Juricks were part of Mardi Gras once again - and shared the magic with the next generation of Madi Gras revelers. The first crop of photos in the slideshow are from Blaine Kern's Mardi Gras World (check out the colors on those floats!) and the closing round of photos were taken at our kids very first Mardi Gras parade. SPARTA was the parade that rolled down Tchapitoulis Avenue and had Chef Daniel Boulud catching beads right along side us. We also celebrated 30 years of fishhead music with the New Orleans Radiators at Tipitian's...long live the Rads!

Disney Highlights!

Everybody does Disney - but few people do Disney the way the Juricks do Disney. We are up before dawn, 5:30am actually, and we are at the Parks at "rope-drop". We hit every ride throughout the entire morning without EVER waiting on a single line. For more info on how to accomplish this - even during the busiest week of the year (b/w Christmas & New Years) - see my favorite website: TourGuideMike.com


Here are some great shots from the trip. Enjoy!
