Hey, at least this post is a good way to pass that pesky work time! And I do remember North County Fair, my cousins would go there(they lived in poway). I got my ears pierced at Parkway Plaza, El Cajon style. And we went to Utah every summer too! Then of course when we moved here we'd go there, even more. Funny how that happens. That was fun!

Ben and Shara said...

I love these posts that say so much about a person, yet so little. What a crack up.

p.s. the pic of Kate with the throw up on her makes me sad, it breaks my heart when my kids are sick. So sorry that happened in the car ;(
