Ren fest

I went to the Renaissance Festival today for the first time ever and had a blast!

I am so exhausted right now, but I wanted to take a few minutes to write about my day while it was all still fresh in my mind.

I went with Matt and Carrie. Matt drove us up to Carrie's apartment in Conroe, and then we all rode over to the Ren Fest together. This is the first time I'd ever been in my life, so I was super excited about going.

We walked around checking out all the shoppes (making me wish I had more $$$ to spend). Carrie and I got some wine and then we say one of the performances. It was soo funny. It was Ester and Eureka, the Washing Women, "cousins" and Ester was showing us her moves to get a man. They were too funny. Well, to be fair, Carrie and I had had a few drinks by this time, so we both had a nice wine buzz going. But it was still hilarious.

After the show, we got some lunch (can you say turkey legs?) and walked around some more. We saw a [lame] jousting show (really, they were kind of really bad actors), meet King Henry VIII, drank some mead, and hung out with pirates.

We walked around some more, had fun with more drinks, went to a pub. Carrie and I made wax hands and we got the kettle corn guys to try and sell Matt for us. No one bought him :o( [poor matt].

After we left the Ren Fest, we grabbed some mexican at a place in Conroe, then Matt and I drove back to the med center.

So now I am exhausted and not looking forward to a day of studying tomorrow, but am so glad I went out today. I haven't had good, clean fun like that in a long time.

I need to relax and let all my problems go more often.
