Almost every year that we've been married we've taken the (increasingly expensive) trip to the Tri-Cities during the last weekend of June to (ahem, visit family ) attend the Renaissance Fair in Richland. The first year I was there was great - I worked in the Spitting Duck (which is a big fundraiser for the SCA in that area), watched the live action chess game and made my first Midieval dress purchase (the one I was wearing was made for me - and I was considerably lighter nearly 6months later). The last couple of years have each had their own highlight but things seemed to be going a little bit downhill - until this year. No, the live action chess and copper bowl spinner have not returned, and yes, it was OVER 100 degrees outside, but the Duck was one of only two food booths, plus there where some fabulous clothing vendors - we even got a dress for Miriam's toddler years. Our Wastekeep friends had a ball will little Miriam and Bill got to beat on other men with sticks.

Hey Maggie, I didn't realize we were going to the same place this past weekend. Our reunion was at Columbia Park on Saturday. Man was it hot!!! But sounds like you had fun. We did too. Can't wait to see the pictures.
