It was terrible time to go. Everyone in the entire world was all trying to go at the same time. The interstate was backed up for hours. Once we finally got off the exit, there was a two-lane road for a couple miles, which while those of us waited in line, other jerks would drive up the left lane and cut in front of people. I mean literally cut in. We had a car force it's way in on us. They absolutely were going to hit us if we didn't get out of their way.
We finally arrived to the festival and paid our $39.95 to get in. Thank goodness we didn't pay twice that much.
We had tried to get there around 10am, but because of traffic it ended up being after 2pm before we got in.
We caught a show called "All the Kings Horses". It was boring. A couple of girls running the horses in circles mostly.
I guess we missed the joust show.
There were some neat mid-evil "rides", but the rest of it was mostly shops and eating.
I tried a turkey leg, because that was the thing to get at a Renaissance festival. It tasted okay, but was tough to gnaw on.
The prices of everything was outrageous, even for an event like that.
Everyone left at the same time, it seemed like, and trying to get out of the parking area was crazy. We were parked in cow pastures, and some people tried to form lines, while others were just barreling out through the middle and cutting into the line at the front.
After a couple of hours, and ending up having waited behind an apparently parked car, we cut through the middle and into the line and was out of there in less than 5 minutes. Crazy!
