Rainy Tees and Fried Peaches and Cream

I had the greatest weekend. We left for Irving on Friday and that night my sister, my best friend, and I went to my first ever drag show. That is what I must say was a experience! LOL. I know drag shows are not for everyone and I totally respect that. For some reason I wanted to get a drag show checked off my list of things to do in my life. I saw alot of lipsynching and cartwheels and surprisingly comedy. We all laughed alot, not at people persay, but the hosts were every funny.

Sunday we slept in and went shopping. We stayed home that night and watched movies.

Ok, Sunday we went to the Texas State Fair that I was all gaga over last week, and guys I'm still gaga over it! I wish I didn't have to leave. Oprah came and visited while we were there. UNFORTUNATELY we didn't get to see here because everytime we went were people said she was we would just miss her! I guess it wasn't meant to be, lol. When we first got there we visited the butterfly garden which was beautiful. We had to choose between the butterfly show and the birds of the world show across the way so we went and saw the birds. The show was great. Going in I was thinking, "Wow, this is alot of open space. How are they going to control these birds and keep them from flying away?" To my plesant surprise the birds were trained greatly. They would fly through the audience and their feet would just barely touch the top of peoples heads. We saw all sorts of eagles, cranes, parrots, tucans. One of the parrots was on the Jay Leno show and won an award for best singing parrot in the world. He sung pretty terrible to me, but great for a parrot!

We saw the latest vehicles coming on the market. We saw Chevy, Ford, Lexus, Mecedes, BMW, Honda, and so on. I'm not a car person but I did get a free shirt so at that time I was very attentive! Ha. They had so many exhibits we couldn't visit them all because we got rained out :(. But, we did stay and have fun. We visited the Women's Museum and they had two amazing new sections. On the first floor they had photos of famous musicians from over time by famous women photographers. Music is my world so of course I was amazed at how timeless, personal, and freakin' awesome these photos were. They had photos from Tina Turner, Kiss, Stevie Wonder, Debbie Harry, Bruce Springsteen, and many many more. Also on the third floor they had a second dedicated to the history of Catholic nuns and their effects on charity, childcare, and social services. I myself am not Catholic but I can really appreciate anybody or group that can make a positive contribution to society. It was great!

Now the most important part....FOOD! I fed my face from the time I got their to the time I left. I had sausage on a bun, sausage on a stick, a funnel cake, fried grilled cheese, and fried peaches and cream. Now I know your probably like EWW!!! Fried grilled cheese, WHY!?! Its already grilled...OR...EWW!!! Fried peaches and cream, GROSS. Yeah, I said the same thing until I actually tried it. Really good stuff guys. The fried peaches and cream tastes like peach cobbler. The texture of the fried part on the outside caught me off guard, but I really didn't know what to expect. My sister waited in line for about 45 minutes for it. Well worth it. Next year I will be trying the fried butter and fried oreos. And yes, I did say butter and oreos.

I needed this vacation yall. It was nice to have a break from work and school and be able to just RELAX and have fun. I recommend if anyone gets a chance to go to the Texas State Fair in Dallas to go. Make a day of it with the family and you will not be disappointed.
