State Fair

Manuel and I went to the State Fair today. We did something that was TOTALLY cool (which tell you about later), but the rest of the fair was blah. After the cool thing, we got something to eat because we were hungry. We got pizza, which tasted like cardboard with a thin layer of cheese, and lemonade, which gave me a funny aftertaste in my mouth. Then we walked to the exhibit buildings, looked at all the things they were selling, but they were the same things they had last year, and the year before that, and the year before that, except for this one thing that Manuel really wants but it WAY too expensive (I'll let him tell you about that too.) Then we got something else to eat, which was just ok. After that, we were done.

I think we spent 4 hours at the fair, and to me, it was 3 hours too many. It's just the same things over and over. Nothing new from last year. And usually I go just to eat, but none of the food I got was spectacular - even the soda was just ok. Maybe I wasn't in the fair mood, but I doubt it. I think I'm burned out. But how can I be burned out on something that comes once a year? I don't know, but that's how I feel. I think I'm going to try the State Fair every other year, unless they have something cool next year like they did this year, then I'll go, but maybe only for that.

The only cool thing was getting to meet Mr. Lou Ferrigno. As family knows, this is a big thing considering how scared Manuel used to be of the Incredible Hulk. It was fun getting to meet him, get an autograph, and take pictures. Here is the photo evidence of Manuel facing his fear:
