Texas State Fair

That's right. No clever title this time just Texas State Fair.

Me, the wife and a few friends went to the fair on Saturday. The weather was very nice and the trip down was pretty cool. It was my first time on the DFW transit system. First, we went on the Trinity Railway Express (TRE) from West Irving Station to Union Station in downtown Dallas. Then we jumped on the DART Red Line train from there to the location of the Fair Shuttle Bus, which of course took us to the fair.

Once there we saw a blockade of Church folk preaching the word and handing out flyers to fairgoers. Got inside the gate and the ladies immediately had to use the facilities. During the time I went to one of the car show buildings. One of the vehicles that caught my eye was the Toyota Avalon. Pretty nice car and very spacious (compared to my Taurus). My friends wanted me to jump into the Nissan Z just so see if I fit in it and I did, but it was low enough to the ground that I had a hard time getting out.

We left and met up with Alex at one of the other gates and went for a corn dog. Pretty tasty, but not a favorite. We then went to check out a dog show featuring some Frisbee catchers, pool divers, and poll racers. Fun times.

Next we went to taste test some food, which some of it was good and others were okay. Nothing to rave about though. We then headed to the Midway where most of the rides and fried food are. There we went on the Texas Star, the largest Ferris Wheel in the Western Hemisphere. I'm not going to lie I was scared to get on it, but I did and it turned out to be okay. We then went to seek out Fried Coke and succeeded. I didn't have any, but we and Jen did enjoy a funnel cake.

After that I went to test drive a couple of Chevrolet vehicles, the Monte Carlo & Avalanche. They were nice to drive, but the Impala is definately one of my favorites.

We then headed home and chilled until I had to fly out to my next project assignment in Corpus Christi, TX.

Fun times.

Later.......
