Renaissance Festival Day Trip

Tomorrow is our big vacation day trip...we are going to go to the Renaissance Fair and spending the day with friends.  Trouble is, it is supposed to rain in the a.m....but that should create the makings of a good old muddy time!  I just won't wear my good walking shoes, but will wear an older pair in case it really IS muddy there!  Hopefully the crowds will be at a minimum because they aren't stupid enough to go there in the rain......we've been there before in the rain......and I think it really adds something "different" to the experience....LOL.

Yesterday evening, I went to my brother's house for his 50th birthday party.  I wish I had stayed late enough for him to open up all of his gifts, but when I left at 11 p.m., the party was just getting started.  I gave my brother a very expensive gift that didn't cost me a dime!  You see, I volunteered here in Detroit for some of the Super bowl festivities, and because I was a volunteer, they gave me an "Ambassador" jacket.  So, since we are about the same size, I decided to give it to him for his birthday because, frankly, it doesn't do much for me (not into sports) and I knew he would like it.  Sure enough he did!  The jackets were worth $200, so it wasn't a cheap gift at all!  In fact, he could probably sell it for that much on ebay.  But, hopefully, he will wear it and enjoy it....

Well, I guess I should really get to bed as tomorrow morning will come early.....I have been sleeping off and on a better part of the day because of the rainy weather and not feeling well.  Hopefully I will wake up on time tomorrow for the festivities at the Renaissance fair!
