The yearly pilgrimage to an era of cod pieces and boob boosting undergarments has come to pass.

Through much effort and finagling the wife and I finally managed to get our schedules to line up so we could go to the annual bay area Renaissance festival.  Kid in tow we set out for our great adventure. 

Though there were many hardships we were not disappointed.  We battled the eye stinging winds of doom, defended [...]

As usual, I had it right all along.
