Texas Renaissance Festival

Sis and I took a wonderful weekend trip to the Woodlands, Texas - located just North of Houston. This was our first trip to the Texas Renaissance Festival and we had a blast!!!! We've gone many times to the Scarborough Renaissance Festival located just outside of Dallas but this is the first to the TRF.
For those of you not familiar with these Festivals its a medival times themed ordial. There is the King and Queen of England, jousting and lots of food and beer! And yes, we are one of those that dresses up.

Every weekend at TRF is a different "theme". We chose this weekend because it was "faery" weekend and we wore our new fairy outfits. I tell ya this place is HUGE. We only got half way through the thing. And we realized that next time we go it will be without the wings cause its a little hard to walk in the tight spaces of all the different shops side ways to accommodate the wings. :-)
I highly enjoyed my new camera that Mr. M bought for me just for this weekend. I got to try out all sorts of new things on it - close ups and the firework mode. And boy did it end with a wonderful firwork show! So here are a few of the 250 pictures that I took. Hope you enjoy! {I'll do a separate post for the fireworks - they turned out really cool!}

Glad to hear you had a good time. Also glad to help keep Mr. M safe for you while you were gone. We had fun too. We even stayed out of trouble! See you soon.
