Make a Smilebox postcard

about 3 weeks ago we took a weekend and went to the renaissance festival in larkspur, colorado. they've built a huge renaissance town that you can wander through. artisans, actors, and all kinds of people surround you and it's quite the experience! we saw everything from belly dancers to a jack sparrow look-a-like to a real wedding party dressed to the nines. the kids were fascinated with all the fun characters and loved watching the jousting match in the big arena.

although i can't imagine immersing myself in that world enough to actually dress up for it, i would recommend it if you're ever in colorado during the summer. it runs from mid-june until early august.
