Virginia Vacation Part 3

On the drive home from Virginia, Papa decided that he wanted to do one more (specific) thing. He had remembered going to something similar when he was little and it had always been something that he remembered as a favorite trip. So we searched online to see if we could and somehow the times lined up perfectly and we were able to take the kids to their (and my) first MEDIVAL DINNER AND TOURNEMENT SHOW! It was awesome! We got seats that were right in the front and the kids were given flags and medival books. Little Bear was excited that he had just gotten the knight costume and wore it for the show.

The dinners were huge and I was surprised that the kids are as much as they did. We each ( minus Pequeño who shared with Papa and me) got a half a chicken, a spare rib, tomato bisque soup, a baked potato, garlic bread,  a drink, and an apple pie pastry. Everything was good and the kids ate almost everything on their plates (Little Bear didn't like his soup so Pequeño took that). They brought each food item out one at a time which was great for the kids because they would actually eat all of one thing before they could rush to the next.


The entire time the kids were in awe of the show. They were so excited whenever " our " knight came out and cheered loudly for him.

Afterwards the older kids wanted to get their picture taken with "our" knight and they waited in line to see him. Pudge even have him a hug.
The also wanted to see the woman who had the bird which was really neat.
Afterwards , we looked at all of the the things that they had for sale which was really neat. There were family crests whichever you could have looked up and made into items, swords/shields in all different materials, crowns, full metal body armor, etc. We ended up getting two wooden swords and shields for the kids to share.
