Renaissance & Going-Away

Today we met with  my family in Waynesville, for a day trip to the Renaissance Festival!

Photo blast in 3... 2... GO!

Venturing off in search of lunch: 
it's a great day for a festival! 
boom. found it! giant turkey legs it is! 
....... she's gonna kill me.... ;)
love youuuuu, mom
Next stop: The joust, a horseback ride for Sydni and a VERY special character appearance!

in syd's defense, that was actually a very tall horse.
great job, minime!
could it be?! yep! it's merida!! 
Back on solid ground: 
queeeen for the day! 
the king & queen of our family ♥
took a moment to share the love with my pops
SKY SWINGS!
They've been peddlin' these things at the RT since I was a kid.. and I still don't have one.. haha.
gosh.. these two ♥♥♥ and then some more ♥♥♥.
How to tell if the day was a success? 
[before we even got out of the grounds parking] 
I'm so glad we were able to attend the RT for the first time with Syd and Rob! It looks like there will be many more memories each year at these; with any luck, my mom & sister will have coerced me into dressing up next year, so there's that... I guess stay tuned ;)

The day didn't end with the RT; I was in the shower and transformed into dinner date material as soon as our boots hit the homestead. Brittany's final going-away dinner was at Via Vite; I rendezvoused with the gang.
miss you, kp!
Dinner was great, and I got a few hours of hangtime in with Kalyn, who for obvious reason I rarely see anymore :(. SO glad to catch up with everyone, and congrats Brittany!! Have a BLAST in South Carolina!

Okay so that was the end of the night. I had tentatively planned to make an appearance wherever Jessica and Cassie landed after the wedding they'd attended, but by the time dinner was out, I voted to throw in the towel and get back to my little family.

Phew.
Goooodnight!

Lunch Outings With Elisa: Park+Vine | World Cup

The last time Elisa and I took a lunch break, we made our way to Findlay Market, and made a quick stop at Park+Vine afterwards. It was our mission to actually eat lunch there, so today we made that happen. Plus, I wanted some Fab Ferments kombucha like nobody's business, so that became a reality, too. Winnnnnnnn.
omg. yum!
pretty little p+v
 
Yum.
Yum.
And YUM.

After lunch, we took a stroll down to Fountain Square to catch a bit of the USA v. Germany World Cup game. The crowd there was unreal, and the energy was just as electric.

cincinnati was all in for today's game
We had to leave downtown before the game ended [sidenote: do this many people in Cincinnati have today off for this?! haha], but that didn't mean we missed the tied score with Germany when we got back. Good effort, boys... now get yourselves ready for Belgium!

Not a bad day at all! Tomorrow is Lizzy's birthday, followed by the weekend. It sounds like Jesse may be making a trip in to visit from Illinois, so this should be a good one!

See ya then, blogbots..
