Arizona's 100th Birthday

Yesterday, Jesse and I went to Arizona's Best Fest to celebrate Arizona's centennial. I heard a commercial on the radio, and let my students know too, about az100years.org which listed all the events scheduled for this weekend. It sounded like fun, so we decided to go. Unfortunately, once we got there, it wasn't as much fun as we anticipated. The event was set up in Wesley Bolen plaza, which is right in front of the capital. We walked around 1/2 of it, but then Jesse got hungry. For those of you that don't know, when Jesse gets hungry, LOOK OUT! And, find the man some food! So, we headed back toward the capital building to check out the food trucks. Just a note here: I really wanted some cotton candy... I even passed up a Snickers and chocolate covered strawberries cuz I knew cotton candy was waiting for me, somewhere. But, there was NO cotton candy! However, we both had a sandwich, listened to a band, while we ate, then grabbed a couple of chairs to hear the keynote address by the governor (she makes me a little crazy), and saw Apache and Mexican dancers, then headed home. Since I didn't get my cotton candy, we stopped at DQ on the way home!
