Arizona State Fair

If you follow me on social media, I’m sure you saw the photos from my weekend. I went to the Arizona State Fair with my boyfriend! We enjoyed the classic fair foods, played and failed at a few fair games, and of course hit a few rides. It’s perfect for the two of us, considering our first date was at a local fair (which we will be going to for our one year!).

We didn’t make it to the actual fair until about 4, so we immediately ordered something to eat once we got there. I had my eyes on the grilled chicken and rice in a pineapple bowl from the moment I saw it and we topped if off with a piña colada.

We played a few fair games (and lost) including a game with a wiffle ball that we both swear is impossible to win. Turns out, neither of us are very good at fair fames. The ride we chose was one of those ungodly spinning rides that swings you up and down while going in a circle. Thank god we had the beer after that! Lastly, we finished the night with bacon wrapped jalepeños. What a weekend.

The last photos are from our dinner and then our coffee and breakfast before a short ride back.

Catch ya’ with more weekend fun next week!
