A beautiful, sunny day at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival… Live music performance by Bud the Fairy…gypsy dancers…strolling violinists… a waterwheel splashing…wine, beer, creampuffs with strawberries & chocolate, turkey drumsticks, beefstix, tea and scones for teatime… a romantic, renaissance setting…sword fighting…live comedy, dance and juggling…elephants and camels… laughing at the vegetable justice guy (my favorite)…outlandish, wonderful costumes… a maypole dance…old fashioned childrens’ rides.. face painting for Gracie….and lovely perfume and soap to take home (a bar of lavender, rosemary, sage for me…and bay rum for the hubby.)

How did you spend this gorgeous Saturday?
