Friday morning I packed and had everything out in the car by noon. K didn't get home till six so we still left later than I would have liked. The trip down to the cities was uneventful. J was nice enough to let us stay at her place and even drove us to the ren fest the next morning. Of course I found I was much too over packed for a two day weekend. At any rate my costume was much nicer after I'd managed to find a shop with a good selection of musketeer hats at a reasonable price (provided all I wanted to buy the entire trip was a hat). I wound up with one that had lovely silver, blue, and gold trim with large blue and white feathers and a perfectly stunning blue hatband and bronze buckle. I feel one should never need a reason to wear funky hats, simply a desire to do so. At any rate, the forest walk was closed due to flooding and the picture place was looking a mite spendy after the hat purchase so I didn't get vey many photos. We saw a couple of tortuga shows and there was this random guy who juggled flaming torches while wearing a flaming beanie and walking accross a flaming tightrope. He also juggled other stuff but it wasn't quite as exciting without all the fire. After the fair we went and saw that legend of the guardians movie in 3D. It reminded me a little of lord of the rings in several places. We did a little shopping in what I like to think of as an outdoor mall. Then went back to J.'s. K and I left this morning around nine thirty, stopped for breakfast, and made it home around two thirty. I've spent most of the time since then reading. I finished sharpe's company before the trip, finished reading Soulless, and now I'm reading Changeless, Soulless and Changeless being the first two books in a new series that's about vampires, werewolves, victorian London, and a spinster turned lady wife who has the power to negate the supernatural. So far it's proven quite entertaining.
