I have never been to the State fair and have always wanted to go. My brother lives in Dallas and so I thought this would make for an awesome weekend to go see him.I knew I didn"t want to go the weekend of the Cottonbowl so we decided the last weekend of the fair was perfect.
A couple days before we were to leave I loaded my camera with batteries and cleared my memory card, the whole time thinking "Wow I can't wait to take a picture in front of big Tex." Fast forward to the day before we leave. The car is packed, my brother knows what time to expect us, and we just have one afternoon of work left. I turn on the news and Big Tex is going down in a blaze of glory. My eyes are tearing up and I am actually crying over a statue.( I have issues I know ) LOL
We gotto my brothers un loaded our bags and headed to the fair grounds. My brother lives right near the dart so we bought a day pass and didn't have to worry about parking. We rode a few rides that made me so sick. Of course when you choose a ride that spins you around violently you can expect to be dizzy for awhile. I think Ronnie's favorite part was the auto show. We got into a couple of cars and had our pictures taken. Ronnie's favorite car was the corvette, I told him maybe that could be his retirement car, he didn't like that answer to much. LOL
We tried fried foods, but kept it to the basics. We decided to try 3 things, they are listed in the order we liked them.
1) Fried Banana Pudding ( this was so good)
2) Fried Red Velvet Cupcake ( this melted in your mouth )
3) Fried Tres Leches cake ( was like a puffy funnel cake)
Over all our trip was great and I finally got to live out a childhood dream.
Did you go to the fair this year? what was your favorite part?
