Mardi Gras STL style

This past weekend, I returned to St. Louis for the first time since graduating in May. It was amazing to be back in town and to see so many of my college friends. After being away, I can say that I definitely didn't fully appreciate it while living there. But thankfully, St. Louis is only a car ride away, and there are always reasons (like Mardi Gras) to go back!

Frank was pretty excited for his first Mardi Gras- he even wore some beads!
