Creator's Key Takeaways

we were so excited to give carnival another try and see what it has to offer these days

the french toast was so good it may have been the best french toast i've ever had in my whole life

i really don't want to be encouraged to stay up late having fun in all these activities just to be woken up early to hear about the art auction or bingo

i even found myself staying up later to go to the comedy shows and all the activities
