Men in tights and turkey legs

We finally made it to the Renaissance Faire! It was so much fun! If you are ever in the area, I would really recommend going. Heck, I’d recommend going even if you have to drive a couple of hours, because it’s really worth it. I couldn’t capture all of it, there was so much fantastic stuff! But here are a few things I did capture:

Robin Hood won the jousting tournament – and the hearts of many of the ladies in the audience

A segment of the Maypole dance (sorry about the poor image quality):

We had turkey legs for lunch! Tried to convince my husband to share some mead, but he refused because he was still recovering from the sugar-shock he got from the cheesecake on a stick and we still had to drive home :-)

I’m reminded of Reno 911, but those people looked more attractive. Glad you had a good time! We have one by Los Angeles that I used to go to. I had a family friend that used to spend the night there…I got to hear about some crazy parties.

So did you dress up? Because if you did, you should totally post a picture!

LOL Kelly – No, I did not dress up. Not unless you count dark wash jeans and flats as “dressing up” ;-) But I tell you, after seeing Robin Hood win the jousting tournament I was totally ready to find some Lady Marian garb to throw on! The man was fiiine.
