Today was a day that once again had Pleasanton living up to its name…
I walked downtown to do a little shopping and kept getting distracted by the beauty everywhere around me. Between the trees lining the streets and the pots of flowers everywhere, my senses of smell and sight were happily overloaded.
Then Blake and I walked to the Alameda County Fair! It’s a mere mile and a half or so from our front door and it was a glorious walk along more tree lined streets. I know that county fairs have a reputation of being, uh, less than savory, but seriously, this was the most beautiful fair I had ever been to. Clean, with grassy shady areas. It was huge and fun and brought the 10 year old in me back to life. Since it was opening day all of the rides were only a dollar, so we got to enjoy the ones that we knew wouldn’t make us sick! So much silly, awesome fun!
