Renaissance Festival

Last weekend Tim and I took a brave trip up to Annapolis (Capital of MD) to go to the Renaissance Festival.  Even though we got lost along the way, we finally made it to discover that there were gazillions of people attending this thing.  I've never seen so many people in my life!  This is the entrance to the festival:

We walked around a little bit and saw a few comedy shows before we went to the main event....JOUSTING! HUZZAH! Which by the way is MD's official sport, thanks to Tim I now know more about my own home state.

This is the building where people stood and talked to us.  Unfortunately, we could not hear them, so we don't know what was going on.

The past few pictures were of the different Knights and their horses.  I can't remember which Knight was ours.  All I know is they had to be hot in those metal suits.

These two Knights are beating each other with sticks to prove strength.  None of my actual jousting pictures turned out great since the horses were to fast for my camera.  So this is the best I have.

 Here are all the Knights lined up at the end of the show.  All of the horses were very pretty.

So after jousting we decided to walk around some more.  There were a lot of interesting shops and interesting people to be seen.  Our favorite shop was a guy who made glass figurines of everything.  He had spiders, mosquitoes, people, flowers, and these...

And that's about it from the MD Renaissance Festival.  It was Tim's first time going and I think he had a good time.
