Renaissance Festival - September 22nd, 2001

It was the first day of Fall 2001, and we joined John and Joann for an afternoon of medieval revelry out in Crownsville, MD at the Maryland Renaissance Festival.  The weather was perfect - maybe even a tad bit warm - and we got to see all of the mocked up Old Towne of Revel Grove.  We even had a little crowd participation in the re-enactment of Hansel and Gretel when John was pulled up on stage to be the witch.  Hilarious!
