Annual Miles 2009: 7817
A few more images we've found from this year's Virginia Renaissance Festival. We were only there one weekend, but wish we could have stayed the whole run.

This photo from theThink Lynsen Blog came from the weekend we were there, and you can see the blue peak of our roof in the background. :)

Fredericksblogger's look at the Faire
We briefly considered going back into D.C. today, but decided against it. We were exhausted after yesterday. So today was just a leisurely drive to Newport News, where we are staying at the same motel as last year.
We stopped at Sam's Steak & Spaghetti House again, since we remembered it fondly from last year. Man, things changed. We weren't the only folks there this time, but the dining room was still empty (everyone else was part of a party in the back). The waitress was friendly, as before, but the food was awful! I don't know if the cook was having a bad day, or what... We tried ordering pasta, and they were out. We ordered seafood instead, and everything was overcooked to inedibility. The fish was turning to paste, the scallops and shrimp were like leather... Yuck. We ended up going for ice cream after to wash the taste out of our mouthes. The place has been struck from our favorites list. :( I hope all the resaturants around here haven't gone downhill.
