photobook : north carolina mountain state fair

the other day, dave and I were talking about our secrets to a happy life. this is the type of cliche conversation I love to rope people into. I said being constantly active and always doing new and interesting things, maybe as generic as it gets but there you have it. he said something to the point of 'eating whatever i want whenever i want.'

sounds good to me.

at my insistence, we went out to the mountain state fair on a tuesday afternoon. we bought an unlimited ride pass (at 20 bucks, easily best bargain of my life so far) and decided we'd eat whatever we wanted and as much of it as we wanted. which is a risky thing at a place that serves bags of neon spun sugar and fried kool-aid.

as you can see, this place was a little bit ridiculous and a lot exuberant. we rode almost everything, ate whatever we liked (although fair food is best in theory & childhood memory, it turns out) drank lots of frozen lemonade and I didn't even puke.
