Carolina Renaissance Festival

Just a few quick pictures.

This event in North Carolina was definitely the best Renaissance Festival

we've ever been to... and we've been to a few!

They have permanent structures built in a huge area,

with self-powered (medieval) amuzement type rides,

lots of vendors, games, 10 theatre stages, even camel and elephant rides...

A day was not enough for this place.

Good thing it's open for 7 weeks out of the year

every weekend in October and November.

I have a feeling we'll be back!

More Outer Banks!

I am woefully behind on picture posting.

Not to mention actual WORDS.

Describing what we're doing as opposed to just

leaving you hanging with the images...

Unfortunately, all of my words are spent on my translations these days

and this is the best I can do...

Labor Day on the Outer Banks

So, it was a wonderful week at the Outer Banks...

We arrived less than 24 hours after Hurricane Earl,

but by the 3rd day the ocean had calmed down and swimming was allowed

which we did much of, on various beaches...

we also sailed, walked giant sand dunes, and introduced Caleb to minigolf -

the dinosaur-inhabited variety -

and we ate seafood every day.

There are many more pictures, which

I will try to post in the coming days,

as I have time.

Hope you enjoy these for now.

The Outer Banks is beautiful...
