Huzzah, Ren-Fest!

 I can now post about the Georgia Renaissance Festival (well...now that I have the pictures uploaded!)

First of all, here is a link to all of the photos:

We met with friends of ours at the Georgia Renaissance Festival on Sunday, May 15th.  It was Highland Fling weekend, and since the other couple was Scottish, it seemed like a great time to go.  An additional perk was that a friend of ours from Charlotte, NC (whom we met at Amanda and Robert's wedding) was also coming down to the Renaissance Festival.  Yep - we saw Sarah...twice....and met her sister, brother-in-law, and Sarah's adorable niece all dressed up to meet the fairy queen.

I would have to guess that The Tortuga Twins and Aerial Acrobats ("Jayna Lee" - Jana Colgin) were the two highlights of the festival :) The weather held out nicely so we had mostly cloudy skies in the beginning, and then cold wind settled in (BOOOOOOO!)

Here are some lovely shots from the festival:

Us...being goofy

The phenomenal Jayna Lee ("Aerial Acrobats"!)

The hilarious Tortuga Twins (their last show of the day is R-rated - va-va-voom!)
