So I broke down and wagered Connor’s college fund against the NC State Fair yesterday. Mostly just to see his face when he rode the flying Bumble Bee’s and kiddie swings. And I committed a serious sin that almost ruined it for Amy – I did not remember to bring a camera. But seriously – I got away lucky and only spent about $60 in just under four hours! Let’s recap:<\/p>\n
Parking – $5
\nAdmission (2 adults) – $12
\n2 corn dogs – 1 hotdog – 2 drinks – $12
\nFried Dough w\/ strawberries – $8
\n20 ride tickets – $15
\nCotton Candy and Candy Apples – $7<\/i><\/p>\n
Total financial impact for 4 hours of traffic, heartburn, crowds and 2 rides = $59. But Connor loved the rides and Cotton Candy so I officially declare it justified.<\/p>\n
It’s easy to see that the amount of time that can be spent at the State Fair is directly proportional to the depth of one’s wallet. $59 could have almost gotten us into Busch Gardens because Connor’s admission is free!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
