Renaissance Festival

I almost completely forgot to write about this. L & I went to the Renaissance Festival in Charlotte (I actually think it's in Davidson) last weekend! If you have never been to the festival you have to make plans to check it out (3 weeks remaining). The people watching alone is worth the $18 ticket price.

The Carolina Renaissance Festival is a medieval amusement park, a 10-stage theater, a 20-acre circus, an arts and crafts fair, a jousting tournament and a feast -- all rolled into one non-stop, day-long family adventure!

The knights prepare for a friendly competition followed by a joust.
A guy dressed ast a tre... standing on stilts. He freaks people out when he is surrounded by the real trees on the property.

This was just funny.

Some of the permanent buildings.
