Sunday was a gorgeous, cool day. We spent a lot of it at Camlann Medieval Village, a living history facility recreating a small village in England in the late 1300s, set in the mossy woods in Carnation. The villagers and craftspeople working there are very faithful to the era they're reproducing, but visitors wear everything from Renfaire garb to fairy princess gowns, so I figured I might as well dress up! We saw the blacksmith, potter, scribe, cobbler, and cidermaker, plus musicians, performers, archers, and the village sheep.
After walking in the village and eating lunch in the Bors Hede Inne -- no forks in that era, split pea stew served on trencher bread with fruit, cheese, and cider (we had the unfermented kind, though they also had the alcoholic variety) -- we headed home for the very end of the inconsequential Mariners victory and then Sunday Night Football (I was rooting for the Jets, but seeing the Taylor Swift/Blake Lively-Ryan Reynolds/Hugh Jackman double date made the game more fun). Proper photos of Camlann soon, these are just us having fun:
