Picking sides

A few weeks ago Eric and I got to hit up a KU game via season tickets from my boss. Since I first started working at BRR, there have been a few instances where I've been asked where, since I'm not a Kansan, my allegiance when it comes to D1 sports lies. Depending on who was asking, I would switch between K-State and KU (never Mizzou - that opens a can of worms no matter who you choose).

After the KU vs. San Jose State, I think I can safely say my cheers belong to KU...for now. The experience at the historic Allen Fieldhouse is nothing short of phenomenal, and being a lover of college basketball, I was enthralled with the game. Also, Mass Street in Lawrence is our next day trip. So.many.fun.things. And pizza.





Kudos to Eric for being a trooper. Basketball isn't really his thing.

Just..ugh.

I had super high hopes for this post. I curled my hair and wore my favorite (only) puffer vest. And it just.didn't.work.

Last night we went to WaterFire, a really cool event along Brush Creek in KC. They had tons of live music, fire pits in the middle of the creek and a gorgeous husky that Eric and I kind of wanted to kidnap.

But back to the "ugh." I was going to take lots of photos of us at this cool event, and I was struggling. I am the furthest thing from mastering my camera, and it showed.

So, I only have three photos that I feel are maybe blog-worthy, and can only be if you close one eye completely and squint with the other...question mark.







But at least I included a picture of thee best barbecue in KC.

Where all the knights and wenches are.

If you've learned anything from this blog, it should be that Eric is a nerd in every sense. Hence, I was not surprised at all when he asked me if we could buy tickets to the Kansas City Renaissance Festival. In fact, I was surprised he didn't ask me sooner.

On Saturday, we made our way to Bonner Springs, Kans., for the Ren Fest. I think it was everything we expected it to be. There was an astonishing amount of free shows, amazing turkey legs and mead, and a very happy husband. We took Eric's micro-4/3 camera and tried to be good about capturing the day's festivities.
