We had a fun filled weekend spent with Dean, Kris and Troy.  Friday night we grilled out and had some adult beverages and on Saturday we embarked to the Bristol Renaissance Faire.   We watched some baudy shows, drank some ale, watched a joust and then bought some stuff, as usual.  We were under control this year, though.  We kept it under $500, so our financial planner may yet let us retire.  A good time was had by all.  I unfortunately am sporting quite the sunburn since I somehow forgot to get sunblock on my neck/chest area.  Ah well.  We made it home just in time to watch the Packers in their debut game of the pre-season.  Good thing we stopped for drinks on the way home…we needed them.

Here are a few photos from the day.

Beautiful day…slight breeze and not scorching hot…just right for a beer…or three:

I would, however, tumble over in heat exhaustion wearing these clothes:

Jousting and sword play…completely real, just like professional wrestling:
