NC State Fair

After the Parade of Homes, TJ and I headed off to the North Carolina State Fair. I was beyond excited, because even though I used to go to the county fair back in my Florida days, I've never been to a state fair. We pre-ordered our tickets and ride vouchers online a few weeks ago, so we got a discount on everything, but you can buy everything at the gate and still spend less than $30, depending on how many ride vouchers you purchase.

I quickly found out that one of the major staples of the state fair is the crazy food! TJ and I enjoyed a funnel cake, and a corn dog, and then got really daring and tried a fried oreo. It was interesting to say the least, but I think I'll take a pass on the oreo in the future.

We had such a great time just walking around, riding everything, and playing carnival games.

I love everything about this picture:

Just as we were getting on the ferris wheel, the fireworks show started:

Being at the top of the ferris wheel while the fireworks were going off was the best part of the night, in my opinion. TJ took a great video while we were up there:

I loved everything about my first state fair experience, and I'm already looking forward to going back next year!
