Squee!

I went to my first ever reenactment yesterday! theladysarah, my bf, and five more friends piled into a van and drove 2.5 hrs away to Port Angeles, to a reenactment of Lexington and Concord, which was taking place at the WA Lavender Festival. I wore the underdress I had made for the robe a la turque a few years ago, and decorated an old hat for the event. (And no, we ladies did not plan our outfits together in advance, but we certainly wound up being quite coordinated!) It was very hot, but we had tons of fun, even though the battle was a little sparse. We watched the battles, had tea, played around with lavender, met some of the reenactors, and flounced around taking pictures. I need days like this more often!

Here are some of my favorite pictures. The rest can be found in this facebook album.
