Bry's birthday was last weekend. I had this great idea to surprise him by taking him to the Bluffton Street Fair since he always used to go for his birthday as a kid and hasn't gone in years. So after leaving very late and getting caught in traffic we finally arrive in Bluffton with high hopes, only to discover that it's...raining. And that was just the beginning of our disappointments.
Bry decided that first he wanted to take me to Bummies, a drive in burger place he always used to go to in high school after basketball games, or tennis practice, or something like that. We get there and find it dark and sad and completely closed for the night.
Never mind. Onward to the fair. Only at this point it's rather dismal and cold and all the booths are shutting down early because there are hardly any people there besides us. No pineapple whip for the birthday boy. Not that we would have enjoyed ice cream in that weather anyway.
We decided on hot apple cider instead to cheer our spirits. Nope. That was closed too.
Well, at least I could try the mouse game that I've heard so much about. it was open, but I didn't win, and the thrill lasted a total of two and a half seconds because I put all my quarters down at once. Another letdown.
But the evening wasn't all depressing. We had fun walking around and getting rained on with Bry's brother, Nick. And we also had the best homemade soft pretzel that I've ever had in my entire life. That alone may have been worth the drive.
Here's to hoping that you have a better birthday next year, Babe.
