Minnesota State Fair

We went to the State Fair today.  Nearly wore ourselves out.  So much to do, so much to eat.  First we had to park our car and like last year got off on the wrong road and got lost.  Finally got it corrected and ended up in a lot on the northside.  Think we will try to park there in the future.

We started with breakfast at Hamline Methodist Church Cafe.  Good as always.  Then for mini donuts while we waited for the buildings to open.  After looking at a ton of stuff, none of which we needed, we went to the Department of Natural Resources area.  They alway have interesting displays including a huge fish pond with many varieties of fish which are found in the lakes and streams in Minnesota.  

It was then deep fried olives time, wonderful as always.  From there to the midway, no riding for us but fun to watch the extreme rides.  Then it was to the south side of the fair, International Bazaar, Horticulture building, etc.  It was now time for beer and cheese curds before we headed to Machinery Hill and finally home.

We are a couple of tired people (and a bit sunburned).
