HERNDON FAIR 2009

I grew up in Northern Virginia and have called the same place “Home” for most of my life… I can’t believe that today was the first time I went to the annual Herndon Fair. My mom and I spent the afternoon exploring vendor tents, listening to live music, enjoying festival food, and spinning on carnival rides. It was so much bigger than I had expected and the weather couldn’t have been more perfect… I even broke out the sunscreen!

I had to stop at The Herndon Observer Newspaper tent when I saw them there. They wrote a really nice article about me in last week’s paper. I’ll scan it and post it on my website soon. Here I am getting my first tattoo by an adorable Observer volunteer … it didn’t hurt nearly as bad as I thought it would! haha

It was nice to get out for the day and have so many things going on. It was a bit like sensory overload since I’ve been hiding in the kitchen the past few weeks. Speaking of food, my favorite purchase today was a mini marshmallow shooter, which will definitely come in handy when both of my brothers come home next month… It was a “must have” J
