Ohio State Fair!

Well, I can cross one thing off of my summer list.  My life list, as well.  I finally made it to the Ohio State Fair.  I grew up in Texas, and the State Fair is a huge deal there.  And as long as I've been in Ohio, I've never gone to the Ohio State Fair. Never.  Cuyahoga and Lorain County Fairs?  Yup, always.
But never the big one.
What's this fascination with the fair?  One word:  FOOD.  Food on food on food.  The people watching is phenomenal, I adore looking at the animals, and the smells... Warm air, the sounds, the crazy-amazing smells of fried deliciousness, sweet sticky cotton candy, BBQ.... Ugh, drool.  Here's what I got this year.  It's the one thing that I always have to get. And fortunately, since my food allergies have developed (or identified, at least), it is the one thing I can still eat without negative consequence:

Roasted corn, no butter.  So good.  Not pictured:  more than one bite of corn dog and an entire caramel apple coated in chopped nuts.  That I didn't have a chance to photograph, as I was too preoccupied with devouring it.  Sorry.  

Then there were animals.  A goat bleated at me, and it was much, much louder than I had expected.  I may have jumped a little.  

It was a delightful day, and the weather was perfect.  The day just kept getting better, but it's dinner time and I'm ravenous after my PM cardio.  More later!
