North Virginia Street is closed from 2nd Street to 6th Street and booths line the streets. Although I wasn't looking very hard, I didn't notice much in the way of different beers, but I certainly saw quite the variety of BBQ (wings, that is), and the blues bands playing all day added to the festival atmosphere.
Lin left the room sometime before I woke up and we didn't see her for the better part of the day. Donna and I started the day with a champagne brunch at the Flavors! buffet in the Silver Legacy. What a nice way to start the day -- with a good healthy breakfast and a mimosa, followed by a bit of gambling.
After breakfast, and giving the Silver Legacy back the $20 I'd won the evening before, we headed out to the street fair.
We started at the south end and slowly worked our way north. It was a perfect day to be outdoors, the temperature was in the mid-70s with just enough overcast to make the day pleasant. By mid-afternoon, some of the booths had run out of crowd favorites -- like sweet potato fries -- so we weren't able to sample some of the offerings that we would have liked. Donna and I sampled the wings from a couple of different places, and other places we would have liked to try had very long lines, so we passed on those in favor of some of the less popular choices.
All-in-all it was a nice, quiet, relaxing day. We all had a chance to spend time to ourselves and not have to worry about being in a certain place at a certain time. Tomorrow we are riding north and taking a little scenic tour of a little corner of Northern California. Can't wait!
