October 19th, 2009 Visit to Hartford and the Fair
This past August I took my wife back to her home town of Hartford CT for a visit. We have talked about it for a long time and she has really been wanting to go so it was time. It was a lovely visit, we spent just under a week there and enjoyed every minute. We got our rooms at hotels Hartford and were really happy with the hotels location in he downtown area. We were able to spend most of our evening on foot walking where we wanted to go only having to drive during the day.
While there we visited various places that were special to my wife while she was a child and growing up. We walked past her old elementary school, middle school and high school. We stopped in the church her family attended while she was growing up. We also went strolling in the park where she use to play with her friends, visiting distant family members and seeing old friends she had not seen since before we got married. It was beautiful and she was so happy to be able to go and see some of the old places.
Out most fun day there was spent at the Hartford Fair, they say it is the ‘Best Little Fair in the World’ we had such a good time we would have to agree. We were like little kids riding the merry go round, the Ferris wheel and the bumper cars. I have to say we were both sorry the next day with all the junk foods we are, but how can you resist it is the fair. Cotton candy, corn dogs, ice cream and fried foods of all types and descriptions. We got the fair early and were there till just about closing catching the rodeo trials, viewing the farm animals, catching some country bands, riding rides and eating way too much.
