the state fair of texas.

Andy and I just got home from a weekend in Dallas visiting his parents. 

We took a trip to the Texas State Fair today before we headed home since neither of us had ever been before. It was an experience. It's in Fair Park which was built for the World Fair a long time ago. It's also home to the Cotton Bowl which I was lucky enough to go to a couple of years ago. 

We didn't get to do much, but did visit some of the little museums located in Fair Park like the Aquarium and the Museum of the State. I wish we could've ridden the ferris wheel but the line was a bit too long. I did get some salt water taffy before we left, though, which I have a definite weakness for and you don't find it very often down here in Texas.

Overall it was a fun weekend, but it's time to get back to school.

lions, tigers, bears...

 

Last minute decisions have the tendency to lead you to unexpected places and new friends. I befriended the above at the Ft. Worth Zoo this weekend and had a blast!

new haircut.

I'm in Dallas until Wednesday, when Andy and I fly to Orlando (Disneyworld!). In the meantime, we're just hanging around here enjoying our time off and trying to relax a little bit after all the drama and everything that has been happening lately. So for about a week and a half there will probably be very few updates from me as I'm not crafting and just being a bit lazy. I'm still around though.

I also got a new hair cut today! Always got to look great for your trip.
