The Texas Renaissance Festival









































We have been somewhat disappointed in the weekend excursions that we have made throughout the Houston metro since our move. Our first lackluster trip was to the Houston Zoo, which might be the worst Zoo I have been to. The next was to the Aquarium downtown, which is a restaurant disguised as an aquarium and not very good at either. So it was with some hesitation that I went online and purchased my discounted tickets to the renaissance festival. We were pleasantly surprised and Jeremiah had a great time. He was able to ride a horse for the first time and had his face painted and ate a turkey drumstick. I think renaissance festivals attract two types of people: The first would be the kind that like to be entertained by the festival workers, enjoy the food and have a good time. The second has to be a type of dungeons and dragons fan that wants nothing more than to feel normal in their typical day to day dress. Either way, the people watching was on the level of a Sturgis bike rally, the food was great and with the exception of some foul language, we had a great time.
