Ventura County Fair - 2008

Today I went to the Ventura County Fair with Tracey, Russ, and their kids. It was dollar days, so we got in for only a dollar...Such a deal! We met Phill and Norma (Tracey's dad and his wife) there. The parking lot at the fair grounds was full, so we parked at the Holiday Inn parking structure and walked to the fair. It was a beautiful day, the ocean breeze was simply delightful. We started off by getting something to eat because that's what you do at a fair. (There are two things that I always eat when I go to the Ventura County fair...roasted corn and soft serve ice cream...it's a tradition, so I can throw any and all dieting out the door.) Then, the kids wanted to go on the rides, so we spent a lot of time on the fairway. We saw Michele Pilimai and her sister Beth Homberg with their children. I also saw Stephanie Taylor (her maiden name, but I don't know what her married name is anymore) It was fun! Carly started to feel ill, from one of the rides, so she used the rest of her money to play the dart games. Sierra rode a few rides and then played the dart game. They both won a stuffed animal! Way to go girls! Ian rode the mechanical bull and did quite well. We all had a wonderful day at the fair.
