If you didn't you are obviously not tuned into the anniversary of the Norman Conquest, October 14, 1066. Thanks to a tip from a colleague, we went to Battle to see where the actual battle took place (sort of -- after 950 years things do shift). Better yet -- reenactors! They were awesome and the kids were mesmerized, especially Robert. These people are like Civil War reenactors, but with rabbit roasted on an open fire (no kidding) and lots of mead! They camp out there the entire weekend in primitive tents and sleep on animal skins. They practice all year round to do the simulated hand to hand combat with knives, swords, spears, bow & arrow, and sometimes they even shoot this stuff on horses. We had great weather too!
