What A Celebration!
I honestly have to say that this past weekend was the BEST birthday celebration I have ever had!! It started on Friday, when I left around 1:30 to drop off the dog at my parents' house, stayed and visited for a bit, and then went up to pick up Devlyn. We got back to our house and hung out until Sarah (Grace) got off work and we were able to head up to Wisconsin. We left around 7 PM Friday night. The car ride involved a lot of talking and a lot of laughing. We finally arrived at our hotel around 1:30 AM or so.
Saturday morning we were up by 7 AM to get ready to head to the faire. DH headed out to O&H Bakery early to provide us with yummies for breakfast. It's been ages since I've had doughnuts, and O&H doughnuts are well worth it! We made it to faire by 9:30 AM or so, well before the gates opened. We got to hang around with many wenches and Devlyn, Sarah and I were each rouged at some point throughout the weekend. (The Rogues line up to present you with a rose and say flirtatious things to you). On Saturday we also saw Dustin Diamond (Screech from Saved By The Bell) walking around the faire grounds. On Saturday we participated in a Wench Walk (similar to a rogueing but we leave lip prints on the victims). We shopped, saw a couple of shows, and just socialized with a lot of people in general.
We were blessed with beautiful weather all weekend long. On Sunday we stayed at the faire until closing (7PM Wisconsin time) and then, after changing in the parking lot, started the long drive home. We didn't make it back to our house until about 3 AM.
I'm still recovering from all of the fun! I've put a couple of pictures in my photo album.
