In a very Midwestern sort of way. (This was just a tiny slice of the midway--the rest of the carnival stretched all around us, and the livestock, food, stages, and other parts of the fairgrounds made it seem like we were in another state!)
V. and M. are two of my favorite people, and the fact that they're getting married in a year (a year! so soon!) is the icing on the cake. They had already attended state fairs (she in South Carolina, he in Texas), but all of us agreed that this state's fair was legit. Too legit to quit.
I petted horses, ate the best pulled pork sandwich of my life (M.'s comment: "This is dangerous."), rode the Ferris wheel and bumper cars, saw all the sights, ate a funnel cake, and wrapped up the day with free chocolate and ice cream samples from a tourist trap on our way home. Exhausted, full, and happy--that's me.
