Tomorrow Never Dies

So clearly I didn't post pictures yesterday, but since I've started this post with a James Bond movie title, it's only appropriate that I start off this post with the few (not great) pictures I got of a famous car stunt from one of the movies. Apparently this car was the first to do a 360 turn and survive (or at least have a driver that survived). They did the stunt originally in the white car (hence the upside down printing) and then the red car was used for the movie.



Also, in addition to consuming five orders of deep fried cheese curds over the course of the day (every order was shared and I am still thinking of them), between the seven of us we ate: cheese fries, kettle corn, cotton candy (both pink and blue and maple), fried dough bites (not funnel cake even though I like that more and am posting a picture of the description for those unclear on differences), pork chop sandwich (voted best sandwich at the fair for a number of years), the Craz-E burger (pictured below which was not as balanced as the link would lead you to believe, I could only taste burger), a beef gyro, corn on the cob, quahog chili, peanut butter bacon pizza (there was something off in the balance there too, too much pb to bacon and the cheese was too oily and added no flavor, I think a smoked cheese might have worked better), maple milk, corn dogs, apple crisp, blueberry pie, baked potatoes with all the fixins, and lobster rolls. Whew, so we definitely got our cheese curds and other fair food taken care of.

We also got to see lots of animals and exhibits, including the peking acrobats, circus, sea lions the butter sculpture. We visited every state house and took a brief stop through storrow town village where there was a root beer cart. The weather, and/or our timing was perfect, though it rained a good portion of the day, we managed to be inside when the worst hit. It was a great day!
