Weekend Review

Well, as most of you know, over the Thanksgiving weekend, my hubby and I went to Houston, Texas for a 3-day weekend. We actually stayed in The Woodlands - which we always do when going the Texas Renaissance Festival. The original plan was to attend the TRF on Friday and Saturday, then on Sunday, see Beowulf at the IMAX 3-D. We left early Friday morning, having arranged for a couple of good friends to house and dog sit for us over the weekend. After arriving and checking into our hotel - we opted to not wear our costumes since we were unsure of the weather - then headed out. We arrived around 2, and immediately begin the search for food... we hadn't had lunch yet and were anticipating the usual so-so food, at exorbitant prices... but oh so worth it! After consuming lunch, we hit the shops. We both had ideas of what we wanted to add to our costumes so we immediately headed for our favorite shops. House of Dra, in particular! I ended up with a cloak... dark brown corduroy, lined in black with a hood - very warm! Hubby ended up with some awesome pants, black with tiny white pinstripes - very cool. After that we scoped out more shops with plans to make the rest of our purchases the next day. Hubby looked at a few really, really nice walking staffs that conceal a very, very sharp blade... and I scoped out gift ideas! After spending several hours, walking around in the damp, cold, we decided to head back to the hotel to warm up. On the way out, bought the prerequisite TRF T-shirts then made the endless walk back to the car.
