It’s that time again for the San Diego County Fair. I can’t believe it’s already been a year! Because this is the Fourth of July weekend and my family will be travelling to Las Vegas this week, I thought I’d dedicate this week to the Fair, and break our visit into two parts: this post will be about the sights & sounds. We bought the “Unlimited Admission” pass again, but we were able to get it at a group rate. That price brought it down to the regular price for a single day ticket, which paid for itself after our first weekend at the Fair (we went two weekends in a row). The theme this year was “Game On!”, so there were plenty of game related sights all around. The next post will be about, what else, the food! Hope you had a great weekend!
Dominic actually won a coupon for 2 pieces of fruit from 7-11!
Photos 1 & 2: A gigantic rabbit! Photos 3 & 4: Dominic getting to know a few animals.
We have entered “The Fun Zone”
Dominic’s favorite ride was from Michael Jackson’s “Neverland Ranch”, and he was just tall enough to take his first “big boy” ride! In fact, he loved it so much, he insisted to go back on during our second visit.
(This photo is from our second visit.)
“Twist to the left, back to the right. Twist and turn, til you’ve got it right…” Part of the Get The Balance Right video by Depeche Mode is at an amusement park, riding bumper cars (during that very part of the song). On this one, Dominic nearly lost his beloved Rickie Fowler Puma hat!
More photos from day 2: Deon has a love/hate relationship with the “Shooting Star” gallery game. Just a few more shots, and he would have had it!
Whew, thank goodness I wore comfy shoes (thank you Dansko)!
One last photo at the end of our first day at the fair. Part two later this week!
Bonus video: Last year, I wasn’t able to get video coverage of our zip line adventures. This year, I was able to catch Deon doing it, and pulling a “Spider-Man”!
