Celtic Festival and Field Museum Double Play

On Sunday, September 13, 2009 we went to Grant Park for the Celtic Festival. I really enjoyed the dancing. There was even a boy dancer, he was very cool. There was a story teller who was pretty engaging and this crazy looking Irish Bag Pipe. I liked it. I would definately go again.

Since we were downtown and because we are such savy Chicagoans that we stopped by the Library for passes, we decided to hit the Field Museum. This place is so cool. The Underground Adventure is awesome, truly one of my personal favorite exhibits. But I also enjoyed the Ancient Americans as well. You can roll around on a bearskin bed inside the Pawnee Lodge.

We were having so much fun that we missed the train, that was okay, have you ever just hung out on the Museum Campus Grounds? They keep the grass so nice. Then in addition to missing the train...we missed our Train Stop and had to walk back to our house from Indiana! Crazy! We survived. 4 stars for the Celtic Festival and Five to the Field Museum!

The 2009 Bristol Renaissance Faire!

Mom can get a little crazy with pictures. Since we went to the Bristol Renaissance Faire numerous times this summer, I suggested that we do only ONE photo album and incorporate all our Adventures in one posting.

Attending the Joust performed by the Hanlon-Lees Action Theatre is simply a no-brainer, but Dirk and Guido, The Swordsmen are also an absolute must see.

I do like music, but come on! When there's ships to be sailed who can pause to listen to tunes?! BUT for my mother's sake I'd like to make note of her favorite muscians, The New Minstrel Revue and T.J. Hull, Fiddler.

As always, we had a wonderful time. Many thanks to Bristol and we'll see you next year!
