State Fair

Okay, you know one of those days where you're GUARANTEED to remember them the rest of your life? Yesterday's trip to the New Jersey state fair was one of those. As soon as we walk in, they've got BULK CANDY with classic style taffy, WARHEADS, jelly beans, big league chew, and sour straws; all for 3.45 for a half-pound. I paid 5 bucks for the biggest bag of candy i've ever seen... and I didn't even get to finish it all in one night! xD

Me and Kira both got unlimited-ride stamps, so we rode on every single roller coaster there was, took on the GRAVITRON (my favorite ride of all time) twice, bumper cars, haunted houses, a petting zoo - complete with wild lemurs, camels, goats, macaws, llamas, donkeys, miniature horses and an ELEPHANT! Then there was that massive thing that spins you around, flips you upside down at the same time, and in general makes you feel like you're going to throw up like no other (the bright flashy lights everywhere you look did NOT help). Even that one was fun, though, I just wish I hadn't eaten beforehand. Remind me to never eat a fried oreo again, hmm? Tasty, but just.. UGH. They had corn dogs - nostalgia from my childhood - so that was pretty bamf. OOOOH and they had the glider thing! It was this easy, kind of kiddie ride, where you lay down on your stomach on this glider contraption and you're spun around so it feels like you're flying. THAT made the whole trip worth it; I haven't been in that one or the Gravitron since 6th grade.

Ride-gasm and food orgy aside, they also had a magic show that was really effective, and a hypnotist that was plying his trade near the beginning of the fair. All in all, it's worth the price if anyone wants to head to Giant's stadium before July 5.
