Yesterday, we went out to the Maryland Renaissance Festival with our friends Eve, Karl and Hans Erik. It was glorious weather and I'm so glad they reminded us that the Festival is closing up in a few weeks.CJ and Hans Erik had a great time watching guys test their strength on the anvil test, they loved going down the big slide, they enjoyed the food (quesadillas and cookies for them), and they enjoyed watching the bagpipe band The Rogues and the comedy show St. George and the Dragon. Hans Erik was dying to be in the St. George show, but he got beat out by a kid with a louder "huzzah!" Hans Erik brought his play swords and the boys loved their mock sword fights.
Me, I come for the food. I adore the sweet potato fries (with horseradish sauce) and the sweet corn dipped in butter. Yum!Maki enjoys getting dressed up as a poet. He has the requisite poet's shirt, vest, tights and medieval moccasins. I'm not a costume kind of gal, so Maki hopes that CJ will want to go in costume sometime in the future.
We were all just really happy to be outside in the great weather. Since it's Oktoberfest, the Festival was crowded, but we went on the early side, so it wasn't too bad. October 18-19 is the last weekend, so if you want to go, go soon! And go early to find a decent parking spot and avoid the crazy traffic on Route 450.
