Spent the day escorting two daughters there and back again: this time to the Scarborough Faire Renaissance Festival near Waxahachie, south of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. It was a 500-mile round trip, just a quick jaunt by Texas standards.
Daughters looked charming in their costumes, including one elaborate number handmade by their mother. It was a nice facility and a good crowd: many attractive wenches and more than a few actual churls. Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate and heavy rain eventually caused us to retreat. There was something very authentic about watching knights joust in deep mud.
Oh well, now the girls are well-prepared for the fall Texas Renaissance Festival at (closer) Plantersville. Maybe I will go with my wizard's staff...
