Ren Faire, Part 2

Well, we went to the Michigan Renaissance Festival again this weekend. This weekend was supposed to be the final weekend, but because it got rained out the weekend before, they've added one more weekend. I doubt we'll go as next Saturday is the Farmer's Market at Greenfield Village which I have wanted to check out.

Anyhoo, we had a really great time. Since the fi and I had had our weekend, we could really focus on what the pumpkin wanted to do. She rode rides, ate a turkey leg, and let us spoil her rotten. My fi did pick up the new Tartanic and I did get fitted for my new dress from Pendragon (which I plan to order in a few months). However, we spent most of the time fussing over our little dragon keeper. Our friend Kyle came along too as he was planning on purchasing some new garb but found that they had marked it up, so he ended up just following us. I hope we didn't bore him too much.

And while we didn't see any actual filming or celebrities, a lot of the people who worked there or are regulars had. We did see them building a set. Eh...but with no Jack Black or Carey Elwes I don't care much.

Anyhoo, onto the very cute photos:

Vacation!

Well, this past week my lovely fiance took off of work. It was our vacation. Originally, we had planned a different local destination everyday, rather than one big trip somewhere. Well, we all know what happens to the best laid plans. The Monday before our vacation, my fiance's mom was in an accident at work and broke her wrist. When she went to the doctor, he told her she needed surgery and scheduled it for the Monday of our vacation. So, my fiance had to take care of him mom. Well, what was supposed to be an outpatient surgery turned out to be an extended hospital stay because of some complications with his mother's wrist. So, Monday and Tuesday were dedicated to taking care of his mom.

So, we had to cut the Zoo from our itinerary, but thanks to his other family members, we still went to the Henry Ford and the Ann Arbor Art Fair.

I love the Henry Ford by the way. Its one of the coolest places to go. We had a great time. We took one day for the museum and one day for Greenfield Village. Right now, they have their chocolate exhibit going on and there is, of course, a chocolate cafe to eat at. They have a chocolate fountain where you can have various foods dipped for you. Against my better judgement, I let my daughter get a chocolate covered banana. This is the result:

Anyways, it was also awesome because I had my new camera, so I took lots of pictures. Here are some more:
