Whaling Days

Last Saturday, my boyfriend, Nathan, and I went to the annual street fair in Silverdale, WA which part of the festival called "Whaling Days". It was the first time I'd ever gone to Whaling Days, and I had a good time even if it was too hot! Nathan kept bringing me into the shade because he was worried I'd get heat stroke. I did get a head and stomach ache, but both went away, and I was fine long before we left. Here are some photos I took.





A view of the street fair with its rows and rows of booths.








A ray of sunlight shining down on the fair-goers.













These booths were near the shady area where we spent most of our time eating and listening to some of the live bands.










This booth ended up being the source of all our food. First, we both bought lemonade and gyros. Next, Nathan bought an ice cream cone. Before we left, I just had to buy an elephant ear. The little wooden machine in the middle of the picture is used to flatten out the elephant ear dough. It has two metal rollers that are hand-cranked as the dough is feed through it. The huge piece of dough was fried and covered with a lot of cinnamon and sugar.











A glimpse of the Ferris wheel moving by. It was behind the top of one of the booths and the roof of a building.









A complete view of the Ferris wheel.








Nathan bought me this adorable toy gecko. It's stuffed with sand.








I've propped the geico across a bar in my hallway, so that it hangs above my head and stares down at me.







The day ended with the most beautiful sunset. I took many, many shots. Here are just a few.























Until I type again,
