Dominica: The caramel was real, I watched the lady make those. I can't even describe how good they were.

SkylersDad: That's one of Cute Hubby's favorites, too.

Michellehendra: You should, especially at summer time.

Dooder City: Janet Jackson! I know, right?

Mo S: I ate the entire time I was there. Jealous much?

Limasim: Willkommen, es war eine schone, klare Nacht. xo

drollgirl said...

forgot to mention that i hear a kung fu hustle part 2 is in the works. it better not be lame!

diane said...

Joanna J: Carnival food is addicting, you simply can't stop eating it. And those photos do not do the fireworks justice. They were literally right over our heads. The photos look amazing when you click to enlarge.

Drollgirl: You said roasting, and I got hungry.
I'm going to check out info on Kung Fu Hustle 2. Thanks for the heads up.
