This weekend, we decided to do a small, overnight vacation to the Tennessee Renaissance Festival. My husband had rewards points, so we stayed the night in a hotel. It was VERY crowded, because of Memorial Day Weekend. We still enjoyed all the things there. There are somethings we did like better at the GA Festival (like the Jousting, Chess, etc). One thing that we found GREAT, was that there is a man that owns the property there, that built his own dream home, a REAL castle! He had just put on the copper roof, the day before!



Here is the kitchen, in the castle:


This is the floor in the kitchen:


This is the ACTUAL sword from Richard the Lionheart. This man is the 4th owner in 800 years. Pretty cool, huh?


Here are the boys with a knight, dressed up:
