Wednesday was a day off from the parks, and we surprised the kids with a trip to Medieval Times. Don't remember exactly how much we paid, but it was worth every penny. We did order tix online ahead of time and saved a little.
Bill of fare included garlic bread, vegetable soup, huge roasted chicken, spare rib, herb-basted potato, and pastry for dessert - plenty of leftovers. However, there is no silverware provided! What great fun for the kids!
Seating is at long tables in an arena, and you are assigned a knight to cheer for. You can pay extra to be down low and have the chance to have a flower thrown to you by a brave knight in armor. The knights compete at different events, jousting, spearing rings, etc., to try to win the hand of the maiden. Of course, there's a bad guy out to steal her away, and the resulting battle with swords and shields is exciting. It was one of the kids' most memorable nights (no pun intended, but we will remember our black-and-white knight)!
