Fun at the Fair

I'm in Southern California at the moment and the annual San Diego County Fair is on. How could I possibly resist all those rides, games, and deliciously heart-stopping fried foods!

My advice is to go on all the rides BEFORE you have lunch, because after all those funnel cakes, battered potatoes, and BBQ ribs you will not want to be flipping upside down or being catapulted into the air! Well, not unless you have a much stronger stomach than I do.

I recommend arriving about half an hour before the gates open. You'll find parking a lot easier, a short ticket line, and you'll get in before the crowds become too ridiculous.

Check out the video to see more food, rides, games and fun. And a word of warning, don't go on the Wild River unless you plan to get completely drenched (as you'll see in the video), seriously you don't just get splashed, you'll look like you jumped in a swimming pool with your clothes on.


If you're in the area, definitely check out the Fair, it runs until July 4, 2013 at the Del Mar Fairgrounds, and is loads of fun!

    1. Ha ha, you mean the 'Australian' Battered Potatoes? I had to ask a bunch of people what that was, I'd never heard of it before!
