Renn Fest First-Timers

We went to our first Renaissance Festival over the weekend! We met up with our more "experienced" renn friends, Katie and Derek, for a very merry tyme. The Maryland Renaissance Festival is located in a wooded area near Annapolis. We wandered about watching jousting, eating turkey legs, and throwing knives, stars and axes. GA almost took out Eric when her axe throw went awry - it bounced off a wooden poll and backwards into the crowd, which Eric blocked with his camera lens! whew. It was a hot day with a very costumed crowd, many of whom were dress for Pirate Weekend. We even caught up with Jack Sparrow! HUZZAH
