Renaissance Pleasure Faire
The Ren Faire closes today (well, yesterday for all you folk in Japan even though w/the time difference it is today...). This is the first time that I have missed going to Faire, even once, in yeeears. So I think today I am a little mopey about that fact.
Going to the Ren Faire with my family has been a tradition since I was a little girl. My very first faire I snuck in my old Halloween costume - a pink and purple princess dress with one of those silly Disney conical hats - and changed in the restroom, much to the surprise and amusement of my parents. And, well, I've been generally going with my Dad and sometimes my Mom ever since. Even on the years that we couldn't go together I still rounded up a couple of friends or tagged along with friends that were going and life was full of turkey legs, tight corsets, men in armor, swords galore, thee's and thou's, dust, and the inevitable sunburn that I always seem to get when I'm out in the sun for too long.
I kinda miss that, actually.
