Gulf Coast Renaissance Fair 2011: the people

It was a beautiful day In February. Perfect for a fair. Throw in 4 of Nikki's guys and you have a rip roaring good time. We walked. We ate. We looked at people and swords. We were on a sword quest for one of her co-workers. Gave us purpose and a reason to dip into all the great tents.

This post features the people of the Renaissance Fair. They are so into their character, that I sometimes feel that is who they always are. The King and Queen? Come on. What else could they be? Lots of bellies at the fair. Some very pretty. Some should never see the light of day. This is one of the pretty ones...
