Great weekend

We had a really great weekend! How was everyone else's??

Saturday wasn't too eventful, but we did go to my brother-in-law's birthday party, which was fun. It's always nice to spend time with family :-)

Sunday, however, was full of stuff! We went to my nephew's rosebud dedication at church first. Then we went home and changed to head to the South Carolina State Fair! The North Carolina State Fair is also going on right now, but Columbia is about 1.5 hours away, and Raleigh is 3 hours away, so we figured it would be a shorter drive to Columbia. Also, the hubby got tickets from someone at work, and he works there (in Columbia) so he knows his way around Columbia. So that turned out to be the best choice for us. The drive down was uneventful, but holy cow the traffic SUCKED! Once we got into Columbia, we ended up spending another hour and a half in a line of traffic!! It was super annoying! Once we got through that and parked, we made our way into the fair itself. (Sidenote: we had to go through metal detectors and have bags searched to get in....seriously weird.) It was standard fair stuff: rides, exhibits, ridiculously expensive food, and etc. We met some friends there though, so it was fun to walk around with them. I will have to say that I was completely disappointed with the fried pickles that we got. Other than the fact that they were overpriced, they tasted nothing like fried pickles. Oh well....

I decided not to do any rides, since I'm not sure how safe that would be for me right now. But the animals were fun to watch. There was a horse show going on while we were there that was cute. The girls riding were pretty young too! And very adorable...all prim and proper. Some of the exibits were interesting also. One of them was a sand statue, and the folks were "carving" the back of it when we went in there, and it was amazing! Very detailed and intricate. Another exhibit had hand-carved mahogany stuff like airplanes, motorcycles, and etc. I really loved the airplanes, since that's the theme we're going with for the nursery. But we didn't get any, because they were pretty expensive, surprise surprise. Haha....

Once we left the fair, I got the grand tour of Columbia, courtesy of my driver, aka hubby. Hehe :-P I saw downtown, the governor's mansion, Five Points, and lots of other stuff. It's a pretty cute little town, I'll have to say.

Thankfully, we finally made it home in time for BED! I was super duper tired from walking so much, but we had so much fun! I am definitely sore today from walking so much, lol! Just goes to show how little exercise I've done the last 4-5 months :-) Gotta get back into that for real!

I do love weekends when I get to spend so much time with my man! :-D
