It was a fun filled weekend with my hubby and the weather was just perfect. We started out going to a festival in Richmond Hill, GA. Since we used to do craft shows for nearly 8 years we are always looking for the next big one. Down here in GA the fairs are not as big as back home in MN but we go just to see what they may have and just to get out and visit the different cities that surround us.
We had to park and walk since there wasn't on site parking but it was a wonderful morning and we didn't care.
This was the entrance to the fair, it was so pretty.
We were excited just like every time we go to a fair because you just never know what you will come across.
This was the food court, it was a nice size, and to find out in our local paper on Sunday that they had 30,000 people come through. We were to early and most of the food vendors weren't ready. My husband did a job for a guy in this town and told us to get there early but I guess we were to early. If anyone knows what cheese curds are you know that is the top think we look for at any fair. The MN State Fair has the best cheese curds and you can never have enough and definitely can't go without having some even if it means standing in line in a very HOT building. The things we do right?
They had a wonderful little Midway with all the rides and games.
And of course, Mickey Josephson who was in the art/craft booths section. You can read about him in my main blog post. They didn't have many craft booths mainly advertisement but fun anyway. Even if it was a bust just meeting him and the lesson it gave me was all worth it.
When we decided to leave we took the shuttle back and it was in a school bus. We both hadn't been in a school bus in such a long time so this was fun and plus, it gave a tour of the city before we got back to our car. What more could we ask.
After we left the fair my hubby said "why don't we go to the beach, have lunch, and then go for a walk". I said "that was a wonderful idea" and off we went. We ate at Fanny's and had a burger then headed to the beach. While we were walking, I noticed a dragonfly floating in the water and told my hubby to save him and so he did. What a guy right? So he got him on his flip flop and on to safety we go.
He was so pretty and my hubby just kept talking to him saying "its going to be okay guy". Gotta love him he has such a kind heart too. That dragonfly just held on as we walked all the way to the bank to safety.
We picked this spot out of the way of people so he could recover. Just look at the colors so beautiful.
As we continued to walk I spotted a live sand dollar and my hubby couldn't believe it. It was completely buried and I was surprised I spotted it too. I am so glad I bring my camera with me where ever I go.
Then as we continued on my hubby then spotted a sandollar in the water and I said "oh, honey you found one too". But of course he had to make a funny face when I took the picture and that is so him. Then we headed home.
We went back to the beach on Sunday morning and after our long walk we decided to get something to drink but got a very very bad glazed honey bun too. It must have been at least 5 pounds! But sooooo good.
So this is us and I know it's not pretty but it was a fun day and weekend so full of fun and adventure.
