Rennaisance Festival

We checked out our first Rennaisance Festival today, after hearing from the Williams how much they love it.  The traffic to get there was ridiculous (took us an 1.5 hours to get there vs 40 minutes), but well worth it once we arrived.  Unfortunately, we don't have many pictures from the day, since I arrived without a memory card in my camera (the shock! the horror!).  I snapped a few photos with my phone.  They are horrible quality, but will serve as our memory, so I can't knock them too much.


There was so much to see: buildings, costumes, musicians, craftsmen, just to name a few. We were all in awe by a the "man who eats swords" show.


The boys had fun on a little ride. Swing power? Four men pushing it - very impressive.


Final stop was dinner at Macado's - which always reminds Mike and I of our college days in Boone/Roanoke. Afterward, we ventured to the Nascar store so the boys could play. A fun day, even without the camera to capture all the details. :)

glad you guys had a good time. i had my camera (with memory card) but still didn't manage to get too many photos--had to keep my eyes on the kids because it was so crowded!
