A Sunday Afternoon At The State Fair Of Texas

Had a great time with our friends, despite the chilly weather. Started out by riding the giant slide with one of the kids.

Didn't go too hog wild on the food - just had a Fletcher's corn dog (so hot and fresh), fried green tomatoes, which I had never had before and were garlicky and delicious, and a Dole pineapple whip, without which no trip to the fair would be complete.

The two cars that stuck with me from the auto show this year were the Hyundai Veloster turbo and the Hyundai Genesis coupe. Hyundai has never really been on my radar before, but both of these cars had style that stood out, even if the gas mileage didn't. I can't mention the auto show without mentioning the Scion XB. It's not something I would ever drive, but it has my favorite body color - a unique metallic blue/purple.

Elusive Blue Metallic - you had me at hello

We ended the day by treating everyone to a ride on the Texas Star ferris wheel, where it was really, really cold at the top.
