We made our annual pilgrimage to the Realm of King Richard today. We were provided with a family four pack of tickets to check out the faire and write about it. Opinions expressed are 100% my own.

King Richard’s Faire has become one of our favorite family adventures. Each year we have gone it has been better than the last. This year we met up with friends who have two little girls. They were dressed up as princesses, Eva was dressed up as a princess as well and the three little girls had a great time. Andrew is still too small to roam on his own so we pushed a stroller around for the day (Allison did most of the pushing). While you are in the woods and there are roots and such but for the most part you can push a stroller around easily. Strollers with jogger tires work best, though.

We started off with a magic show. The kids were enthralled by Joseph of Stoughton. He was really good, too. We got there kind of late so once that was over it was time to have some lunch. I bought $60 in tickets and picked up lunch for the family. Chili in a Bread Boule, Giant turkey leg, Chicken Fingers and drinks. That left some for goodies later, too.

The NYC Morning Commute


Photo-A-Day #3064

Okay, so I didn’t take a cab back to the train station. I hardly ever take a cab in NYC. I walk everywhere and I end up feeling it and paying the price after that. I walked from my hotel over on 39th and Lexington to Penn station over on 31st and 8th (I usually go in at that entrance). I got there in plenty of time because my train was delayed from a derailment earlier in the line. It was about an hour delay and I got onto the train without any issue. The ride home was productive and I worked on a bunch of posts.

I got home and spent some time with the family playing some games and having fun. They had gone to Roger Williams Park Zoo for the afternoon and had a great time. Eva was very excited about the Big Backyard playground and the fact that they have a trading area where she could trade things like rocks for other things like shells. It was nice to finally get home.
