A Day at the Renaissance Festival

My mister and I took a trip to the Carolina Renaissance Festival and Artisan Marketplace in Huntersville, North Carolina this past weekend.  We had so much fun!  The theme of the weekend was time travel and the costumes were great!  There were rides, delicious food, shows, shops, and people dressed in amazing costume.

Ready for photo overload?  Here we go!

Also, we toured the Museum of Torture.

Again, we had a great time.  This was the 25th year that the Carolina Renaissance Festival was held in Huntersville, NC.  The festival is held on weekends towards the end of September through mid-November.  Make this a must when looking for things to do next year, oh and don't forget to order pickle fries (so good!).

Happy Travels,
Amber
