My best friend, Julia, decided to kidnap me from my house, and take me to the Del Mar Fair as a surprise, for my early birthday present. We totally wish Cindy could have come, but she is vacationing in Italy for a month! (lucky duck!). We hit up almost every ride, and had such a blast. We stayed there until closing, at 11pm, and were exhausted.
About to ride the WindTosser roller coaster!

A crazy fun house! I've never been in one so I was stoked when I saw they had a big selection of creepy fun houses there.

Taking the gondola over to the other side of the fair.

On the Ferris wheel!

On this crazy ride called "Pharaohs Revenge". You sit in a giant boat shaped like a banana, and you swing back and forth really, really high! It's a stomach dropper for sure!


About to enter the Gravity Room (also known as my favorite ride in the world). You go into a little room shape in a circle, and the walls are slightly slanted. For the beginning of the ride, you lean back onto the walls, while the room spins. When the room gets to a certain speed, you can actually defy gravity, and climb up the walls the rest in the corner of the ceiling. Julia and I went on three times, and started the trend of going upside down.

I am so grateful for my best friend, and for her generosity to pay for the whole entire thing (ride tokens, entry tickets, food, and pictures). I wish I could go back to the park right now!

Julia is such a good friend. I love her! (And Cindy, too bad she couldn't make it.) You both look gorgeous and like you had a blast! Wish I could have gone...I love the Del Mar fair!

Hi brookie. My favorite pic is the one with your hair in your face. I'm glad you went with Julia and not me because you would have gone on all those rides by yourself!
Love mom

Glad nobody threw up on the rides! Wish I could have gone, not really, well maybe. Just don't care for the rides. I guess could have held your purses while you went on the rides and then you could describe them to me. The pictures were very cute and fun. I liked the picture where I could see your tonsils! Thanks for sharing your exciting day.

Haha I like Stacey's comment bc I was thinking the same thing... I always think of the gross people eating their fried twinkies and big greasy turkey legs and then going on those spinning rides right after haha... I used to go on that gravity spinning ride at Castle Park- it was so fun and the weird thing is that you don't even feel dizzy after so I always wonder if it's really even spinning. Wow I made a long comment. Well glad you had fun and that was really nice of Julia to kidnap you! You are lucky to have good friends like that!
