mile marker 26: #25 Take a spontaneous road trip

I finally can mark off my first accomplishment on my 101 list! #25 on my list says Take a spontaneous road trip. And that by golly is what I did. Some background for those of you who haven't known me long. I have a dear friend named Storm. We have been best friends since forever, and we never get to see each other. She lives in Murfreesboro and I live in Knoxville, and we stay crazy busy. Last week when we met in Lebanon on my way to Knoxville from home was the first time we had seen each other in over a year and a half!! Crazy! So back to the story. Yesterday afternoon Storm texted me saying her and her mom were going to the Wilson County Fair that night and if I wanted to go? It was last minute and kind of a drive (2 hours), but she thought she would ask. As I sat there reading it I began to laugh, one of my roommates asked what happened and I said I guess I am going to Wilson County!

I hopped in the shower, got ready, went to the ATM, gas station, and was on my way to the county fair! Wilson County Fair is held in Lebanon, TN which is 2 hours from Knoxville. I turned up the tunes and roadtripped it to Lebanon! I got there just a few minutes before they did to hop in the car and head to the fair. Let me just say that there are a bajillion people that go to this fair. No joke there were probably more cars in the parking fields than in my entire county back home! I had never been to a fair that large. It was just like in the movies! So much fun! We walked around and saw the animals, ate a funnel cake, saw the rides lit up at night and rode a Ferris Wheel! Best decision I have made in a while! I am so glad that I went!
