Washington Midsummer Renaissance Faire (2)


24 Aug

Back to the Faire for the final weekend. There was more Alexander James Adams, more BOWI Band (new album coming next year), and more yummy yummy root beer. This time I had a crepe for lunch- I don’t care if its not authentic faire food, it was hardy and delicious.

This weekend we watched the Gypsy Equestrian show. This is, apparently, what college level male gymnasts do when they are no longer competing. Instead of a pommel horse, they just use a real horse. There were also some vault variations. It was quite an impressive show.

Fun times for all.

Washington Midsummer Renaissance Faire


07 Aug

I love going to the Renaissance Faire every year. There’s food, shopping, and great live performances. We started the day with the joust- four beautiful horses and some fairly skilled people riding them.

Afterwards, it was time for food- quarter chickens, cornbread, and brick o’ curly fries for us, turkey legs and crepes for our friends.

Then shopping – a new tricorn hat that will complete an outfit for each of us.

And finally, tow wonderful musical performances from Alexander James Adams and the BOWI Band.

Now if only the clouds had prevented the sun from turning my shoulders bright red.
