State Fair 101

When you are old like me, never ever go on the Tilt-a-Whirl before eating all your favorite foods.  Kennedy will ride anything, I can too (apparently not so much anymore).   The rest of the day, my stomach did the Tilt-a-Whirl.   She proceeded to ride plenty of other rides by herself and both kids (and Sean) enjoyed many tasty treats.

So, if ever you want to save money on food at the Fair, go first to the Kidway and then choose the ride that whips you violently in circles at 100 miles per hour.  It never seemed like such a fierce ride when I was 10 years old.  Maybe the Scrambler next time for me.

Sean and I were treated to a weekend without kids.  Best gift ever.  I love my kids with every fiber in my body, but, I am a way better mom to them when I have moments of me-time.  Besides, its not a bad gig for them either...who doesn't love a weekend with grandparents?  They spent time going to see the pirates at the Science Museum, having ice cream, playing, staying up late and shopping at Ax Man.  Thank you 100 times.

I had a date with 1992 last night.  We attended my 20 year high school reunion at the Mermaid where twenty years ago we had our senior all-knight-party.  It was a blast to see good friends, catch up with people I haven't seen in years and flashback to all sorts of ridiculousness from the 90's.  

The photo booth was definitely the hit of the night!
