We checked out of our
hotel room at
noon on Saturday.
Our adventures weren't done though
as we headed to the
Renaissance Festival.
It was the perfect ending
to a delightful 3 days way.
Greeted by songs as we entered.
And this character begging people to sit on him!
I was quite taken with this lovely
harpist and her beautiful music.
A lovely walk through the Fairy Garden
revealed these darling little gnome
and fairy houses.
My favorite part!
I'm wishing to shrink
so that I may live among them all.
Selling flowers grown by the fairies.
One of the more interesting characters we saw.
Many beautiful masks were for sale.
As well as pretty pewter
and stained glass pieces.
Not shown is the wonderful
pottery and jewelry that
were being sold by many vendors.
Which now leads us to the big reveal...
our henna tattoos...
Lindsey's was, by far, the most
elaborate and beautiful!
Here is Teresa's ankle tattoo:
Of course, my daughter's selection
made me think of a sailor.
(Don't tell her I said that).
But she loves to be an individual!
In case you can't tell, it's on her arm.
And at long last, here is mine.
I have learned the hard way...
these henna's are not meant
for old, wrinkly, age spotted hands.
No matter though,
it's a great reminder
of a terrific time away
and a wonderful way to say
farewell to summer.

You 4 ladies had way too much fun!! That must have been an amazing girls weekend. Love the henna tats...how long do they last?
OH MY STARS we just had tremors here from an 5.8 earthquake 34 miles northwest of Richmond.
I was sitting here typing when the keyboard started to shake. I thought it was me I went to get my hubby to see if he felt it by the time he got back in here the entire desk was shaking. It scared the *&#* out of both of us. I literally shoved Madi in her carrier and headed down stairs. They said the temors were felt as far north as Boston. I'm still shaking... good gried this is not going to be a relaxing week.
Hugs Madi and Mom
