Good Day! Hail Thee Lords & Ladies!
Josh's first visit with her majesty herself, The Queen!
Our Knights guarding The Queen
We spent the last of our summer vacation over the Labor Day holiday at the Pa Renaissance Faire "The Children's Fantasy Weekend Special" - for 3 days and 2 nights! We stayed at the Days Inn for our first days stay and the Hampton Inn during our last night. This was most enjoyable folks and one of the coolest places to visit! We were so entertained the entire time with the most beautiful gardens surrounding the village, improvising with the actors (with neat accents too) throughout the town - stage shows - the boys were "knighted" by the Queen herself - human chess game - cake with the Queen - elephant ride - ultimate joust - it literally seemed as though we were a part of a fantasy/gladiator/pirate movie ~ quite exciting to say the very least and of course the boys absolutely LOVED it!
(Parental Note: "some" people take this renaissance thing a bit too far in their "costumes" - just small word of caution - there were some distractions along the way - but if you understand the (era) you are entering then you'll understand)
Though, I would highly recommend planning a visit as a couple or with family and friends, its well worth it if you enjoy this sort of thing!
