We went for a sweet ride in the convertible this weekend (you know, that warm day in between snowstorms) and we stumbled upon the second year of The Blackhawk Manor Festival – our first ever Renaissance Faire -near French Lick, Indiana.

It was a combination of entertainment and education. The Society for Creative Anachronism put on a demonstration of a contest as seen in these photos, and then answered our questions afterwards.

The Sleeping Bear Retreat grounds were absolutely beautiful and the Faire, while small, was enjoyable.

And Robert  gave one of my friends a photo op. What could be better than that?
