Pirates vs Knights

Two nights.  Two dinner shows.  One winner.

Who would have the better show?

Andrew and I have both seen a Medieval Times show before and thought it would be a fun dinner/date night so we planned and bought tickets before leaving for our honeymoon.

We liked the idea of a dinner and show {more bang for our buck} that we decided to also see Pirates Voyage.




The pre-show was almost just as amazing as the actually show!

We were all learning to talk like pirates

Salty the Sea Lion

This was only the beginning...


The stack was taller than him!

We had great seats


Once our cups were filled, there was never less than the rim, it was like magic.  


Me Harties Feast!

Simply put, the show was amazing!

Red pirates vs blue pirates, we were the red.
Each team's captain was trying to find the treasure.

There was always something happening.  From pirates, mermaids, sea lions, acrobats and more no one ever lost interest.  Everything was done very {very} well. Kids were even picked to be in different races to help their teams. Everyone from guests to the stars of the show appeared to be having a great time. 

The food was great, service even better and the show was the topper!

The next night we went to Medieval Times...



We got there early, really early, and there was NOTHING nearby to explore so we walked around the castle and took silly pictures. 






 Once inside, it was unfortunate but we immediately were not as impressed as we were when we walked into Pirates Voyage. 




It was still pretty inside, but with no pre-show it just felt like a long wait. 


The bar that sold drinks that cost an arm and a leg and were gone in one sip


The green, red & yellow, and blue knights were all in alliance



Metal plate and bowl with no silverware, because in Medieval Times there was no such thing.
But Pepsi...I guess there was Pepsi.


They spent LOTS of money on those fancy hats.   

Seats for this show were pretty awesome as well

We should have seen Medieval Times before Pirates Voyage.  I think we would have enjoyed Medieval Times more.

The food was good, service was poor, and the show was sub-par .

There just wasn't as much going, the knights appeared to be exhausted and not having fun, and from one activity to the next time just seemed to drag.  I just don't know what to say, we were disappointed in the show and ourselves for having such high hopes.

I was disappointed because I remember having so much fun when I had gone before, but like I said had we done the shows in reverse order I think we would have had more fun with the knights.  The pirates would have still won our vote for best show but knights may have had more of a fighting chance.

All in all, both nights were fun.  We had dinner and a show for one price and we did it together.  Anything together is better.

What is your favorite dinner show?

Honeymoon Pit Stop

#madewithstudio

Spring Break is Here!

Indiana, Ohio, then onto Kentucky, Tennessee and finally North Carolina, Andrew and I take our first {long} road trip to celebrate our honeymoon adventure style.

 We tried something new.  We booked a room using Airbnb, and ended up with this cute place and wonderful hostess.  Couldn't be more happy with the personal touch and price for just one night.  For your next destination, you should give Airbnb a try!




We dropped our stuff off and headed to downtown by foot to see what Asheville had to offer.  Very cute, artsy, coffee shop, and live music filled town.

Andrew and I had lots of fun exploring. First stop...





Yes, that is a coffee shop on a Double Decker bus that came over from London in the 70's where it first served as a party bus in Atlanta, GA. How fun?! Not to mention Andrew felt like he was back home for a moment.


Every corner we turned there was so much to soak up, and then off in the distance we noticed the beautiful mountains.  Unique shops and mountains.  Does it get better?


Asheville has character and lots of love.  I am in love.

No idea what these were for, but I love the size and those handles.


I love to do touristy things, so of course I had to find the HUGE iron and take pictures 



Dinner time!




Cheers to us, a great Spring Break and Honeymoon!


Next stop...Myrtle Beach!

PS -- I taught Andrew about {Pringle} duck lips during our lunch stop.
How did he not know about this?



Until next time...  Keep sprinkling your love and joy everywhere you go!
