me and my strawberry margarita

It probably wasn't a good idea to start my day with a strawberry margarita and corn dog, eh?

The Alameda County Fair is best attended during the day on a weekday. Twas perfect! Great weather, less crowds. I took lots of pictures. :)



we watched a couple of races


the hubby and his friends


coins in the water








I especially liked the gardens





some of the animals creeped me out

We walked around and ran into my niece, her son, and her friend! What are the chances? I mean really?



We ended up leaving soon after that and heading out to Buffalo Wild Wings. Good wings!



The guys next to us tried the Blazing Challenge (or something like that). Utter fail! lol! Too bad. The hubby had one of their wings and was impressed that the dude even ate 4. Ye gods!

The bartender was cute. He shook my hand after he dropped off the bill. LOL! Thanks Alex!



don't plead with me now
you've thrown away your last chance
spoiled what was once good
