Trip to the Maryland Ren Faire
I am admittedly a geek. I go to Rennaissance Faires dressed in period clothing. I’ve got the corset and the skirts and everything. I try and get something new to add to my costume every year. This year we decided not to go since we have so much going on with trying to buy a house. We have been very busy trying to get ready for it so we figured that we would just wait until next year to don our geekery. Unfortunately we forgot about one thing: Elephants.
Now, you may be asking yourself, what do elephants have to do with going or not going to a Ren Faire. I’ll tell you. Every year at the Maryland Ren Faire they have an elephant that you can pay to ride on. This is a very important matter to my family because my oldest is OBSESSED with elephants right now. If we wait until next year the phase will most likely have passed. Right now, though, if we take him to ride on an elephant it will probably be the most exciting thing to happen to him in his entire two years and two months of life. Some of his favorite movies right now are Dumbo and a documentary about a herd of elephants in Africa. He is all the time telling us that elephants are big. In August I brought him to the National Zoo to see the elephants and he was amazed, it was almost impossible to get him to leave that section. I cannot imagine what his reaction would be to actually riding an elephant. So, we must go.
