Friday, An Alaskan Day
Friday turned out to be a great Alaskan day, at least for our household. After a morning of excitement over Sarah Palin's having been chosen as McCain's VP candidate, L and I, on the spur of the moment, decided to go to the Alaska State Fair. I hadn't really planned on going, nor really given it much thought. However, when by early afternoon I hadn't settled down to work due to the Palin excitement, L suggested we go to the Fair. I suddenly realized I was getting hungry; we were out the door and on the road in 10 minutes!
It was a gorgeous sunny afternoon without a cloud in the sky. We judiciously ate (fresh roasted corn on the cob, a shared funnel cake, hot dogs, and gourmet ice cream bars) and strolled our way through the fair viewing the veggies and animals. It was a great afternoon of fresh air, sun, and State Fair ambience.
The GCI Petting Zoo---always a favorite
The veggies---too many people in front of us to take a picture of the enormous pumpkin; the award winning cabbage had not yet arrived.
