Girls Gone Renaissance (Faire)

Last weekend Phuong noticed a Renaissance fair was going on and was very eager to see what it was like.  Neither she, Que, nor I had been to one before, so we decided to make a half day out of it.

The Renaissance Faire in Bonney Lake, WA.  It wasn't hot in the shade but it was scorching in the sun, and there was a lot of sun!

Our brave knight chatting it up with the ladies and having a drink before the joust.  No wonder he fell off his horse while trying to (literally) pick up a maiden soon after.
 
 
This lady had a troupe of acrobatic rats.  Phuong and I were disappointed that we missed all the rodent tricks because we arrived a bit late

Life in Renaissance England wouldn't be complete without turkey legs, banh mi, and iced tea :o)
