We went on a date!

Yes yes, it's true.  After over 2 months, we actually went on a date!  For years I'd been wanting to go to the Arizona State Fair with Josh.  Well, after 8 years of living here together, we finally did it!  Man that place is expensive...  But thanks to my superior deal-searching, we did it for relatively cheap.  

First off, I love ferris wheels.  I convinced Josh to go, even though he hates them.  I guess he has a point, for someone who doesn't like heights the ferris wheel could be kind of scary.  

I love roller coasters and thrilling rides, like the "free fall" ride.  Josh braved the roller coaster (again, not a fan) but opted out of the free fall!  I loved it though.  My heart was pounding for 10 minutes afterwards and it was awesome!





Josh may not like ferris wheels, roller coasters, or free falls, but he does love the "gravitron" ride.  Which I HATE!  Surprisingly enough, for a girl who loves scary rides, I can't handle spinning in circles.  Thanks to my migraines and because I'm just getting old, it's a little too much.  But I went on it, and did fine, until Josh yelled over at me to look side to side.  It was ALL over from there.  I almost instantly got sick.  (no puking, just a headache)  Luckily I never leave home without my migraine RX!  A couple relaxing rides on the sky ride later, and I was good to go again.  

We checked out some of the displays.  People collect some WEIRD stuff.













And I can't post about the fair without talking about the FAIR FOOD!  I had Indian Fry Bread, which was delish.  It's funny because Josh didn't get what the big deal was about it, and he didn't want any.  I made him taste mine and he said it tasted exactly like a chalupa from Taco Bell.  Hmm...no wonder I love chalupas...  We also had a fried Snickers bar, which was good but probably not worth the $4.50 it cost.  And finally, before we left, I insisted on some funnel cake!  SO good and SO worth it!

All in all, it was a pretty successful day!  A big shout out to my mom for watching the boys, we really needed the break!

Sounds like you guys had a blast! Took me FOREVER to talk my hubby into going to the fair but we had fun once he gave in. I'll have to try the snickers next year. We went for the deep fried oreos. They were amazing but I was DONE after one, and still had 4 to go. YAY for date nights!
