Today we went to the Renaissance Festival. I have never been, which is why it made my list of things to do. I don't really know what I was expecting it to be. I guess I thought of men in kilts and women pouring out of their tops and it was definitely that, but it was more than that too.
When I first brought it up to James, he was not thrilled. I am sure he could have come up with a million things to do that did not include and hour and a half drive across town, dropping $100 and the unknown. But, because I am married to an awesome guy, he agreed to go.
Once we made it through the traffic (the last 15 minutes made me want to poke my eyes out) everything else went smoothly. We saw a juggling show, a jousting show, and a hypnotist along with lots of other things. Some of the things we saw that we weren't anticipating was five lesbian couples and a 6'2" cross-dresser. We saw a guy wearing a shirt that said, "Please tell your boobs to stop looking at my eyes" too which was pretty funny.
The humor was a little crude in the shows and I worried a couple of times about what my kids were hearing and seeing, but overall it was a successful day. The food was yummy and if I wasn't leaving for Hawaii in 8 days, I probably would have tried even more. The boys loved it. Colton asked within the first hour if we could go again next year. Overall, I am glad I went and that I get to check another "outside the box" thing off my list. Huzzah!

Good for you! That's one of those things that I'm just not sure I'll ever take my kids to. It just seems a bit creepy.
But I'm so glad you guys had a good time!
It definitely brings the freaks out! Both James and I are hoping the kids forget about it by next year. It was something I wanted to do and was curious about, but I am good for another 30+ years. :)
