It's time again for the annual Bruno Family Vacation. We're staying in-state this year, vacationing in the lovely Rochester area and staying with Aunt Marge and Andrew. We met them in route this morning and all went to the Renaissance Festival in Sterling. Boy, was it nice and warm today! Definitely needed the sunblock.
Highlights of the day. Xander went through his spending money like water, going on rides, buying food, and playing games (no, he didn't win any). His big thing was buying a wooden axe, a companion piece to the wooden sword he picked up there two years ago.
We watched the jousting (our guy lost), and checked out bits and pieces of some of the shows. We lost Joe for most of the day, as he made the clothing rounds - hats, boots, the works. The only thing he picked up to bring home was a commemorative mug, but I have the feeling we'll be getting some interesting mail in the next few weeks.
Oh, and I can't forget the "tattoo" Xander had painted on his arm. He requested a snake...eating a rat. Boy, was the face painting guy amused by that! The snake took him no time at all to do, but he spent a whole lot of time getting that rat just right! Only Xander...
And the car is making a funny, not-good sound, but I prefer not to dwell on that at this time.

They ended up sharing it with each other and Andrew. Ah, family love! And then it was off to Aunt Margie's house to unload the car and rest our tired feet. Oh, and break open the suitcase which had somehow locked. We need to rest up for the Strong Museum tomorrow. Fun!
