Renaissance Fair

Sunday, the day after the Zoo we got up early and headed out to the Renaissance Fair. Kenny and I went last year and had a really good time, so we thought it would be fun to go again and reminisce.

It is a HUGE Renaissance Fair. There are actual buildings all over, castles and little shops that stay up year round. It's a big deal. There were tons of people in costume. It was really neat. One special thing they had going on at noon, after the jousting was a Renaissance Wedding... people were actually getting married! Pretty neat!

We walked all around and saw some shows as well as a jousting tournament and the Parade of Royalty ;) So cool!

About one o'clock we drove back to Topeka to have lunch at Via's, the pizza restaurant owned by Kenny's brother and sister-in-law, Jeff & Jessica, YUMMY!!! THE BEST PIZZA ever! ;) We were glad we got to see them and Alex and Ellis!

After lunch Kenny and I drove over to visit with his Grandma for a little bit, then start the drive home. Kenny's Grandma Dottie is so neat! I just love spending time with her. She is so easy to talk to and fun! All of his family are pretty great! ;)

Kenny and I kept thinking it would be SO awesome to go to the MLS soccer game in Kansas City while we were there. They were playing against Chicago who has a great player (Blanco) that we would love to see in person, and what a coincidence, they just happened to be playing there THAT WEEKEND....but, it would have made us not get home until about midnight, so we reluctantly passed ;( Maybe next time.

We had a great trip! But we were also glad to be home :D I guess that is a great thing when you're happy at home.
