About 2 months ago Sara planned a trip to the Scarborough Renaissance Faire in Waxahatchie. According to the website, it's one of the biggest in the Southwest. She made hotel reservations, I got the tickets from the base travel agencey. We decide not to go in garb, mainly because I was worried about the heat, this is Texas after all.
Worried about the heat? Silly man, you should have worried about the rain! It rained and rained, turning the faire into a big soggy mess. Mud on everything. Muddy fairies, muddy queens, muddy musketeers and highlanders. Mud may be "period"but man is it a buzzkill. I still had a good time. The site is cool as hell, lots of little fanciful renaissance-ish stores and buildings. Funny acts and great music. Awesome food, too. I had some of the best tiramisu there. There is a bakery just as you get thru the main gates that is hella good as well.
If money were no object, I could have easily dropped in excess of 1500 bucks on clothes and weapons.
Rowen had a good time, despite the rain and being a little sick. There was a petting zoo, elephant and camel rides. Princesses, fairies, battling girls (what she calls women in armour), jousting juggling. Fun stuff for the monkey.
Then, even with the rain, belly dancers, bodices, corsets and thigh high boots. What more can a geek boy want?
