Viva Vienna

Last Saturday, we met our friends the Muraos and attended Viva Vienna, which is Vienna's version of a festival or county fair. As usual, the entire family had a blast, especially CJ.

The vendor and craft booths were not up on Saturday, so we ate lots of fried fair food, and then focused on the rides. Seriously, nearly everything was fried, including the vegetables, the oreos, the fries.

CJ rode nearly everything: the giant slide, the merry go round, the train, the train go round, the whale ride, the swing ride, the wave runner, and the baby roller coaster. Yup, CJ rode on his first roller coaster and he went without mommy.

The hilarious thing is that CJ enjoyed playing with the little rocks in front of the general store as much as he enjoyed the rides. Considering that the rides cost $3 per person, perhaps I should have let him play with the rocks longer.

CJ and I love county fairs. Last year, we went to the Alexandria Waterfront Festival, the Arlington County Fair, and Celebrate Fairfax. I need to map out our summer so that we hit the county fairs, and get to Luray Caverns, Sesame Place, and the Renaissance festival. So much to do!
