Arlington, Virginia —
Proving that Mardi Gras isn't confined to New Orleans, thousands of people came to chilly Arlington, Virginia for the annual Mardi Gras Parade Tuesday night.  This high energy, low key celebration of Fat Tuesday brought out families and friends to this suburb of Washington, D.C.  Although there was a heavy police presence throughout the evening, revelers were after the beads and other throws from the low tech floats.  According to Arlington Police there were very few problems throughout the entire evening.
