I was given free tickets for our family to visit Medieval Times through US Family Guide, but all opinions and experiences are my own.

Hoozah!

This Christmas my goal was to give my kids more memories and less junk.  After 13 moves in 10 years, 2 floods, and a fire scare....we definitely don't need more junk.  Instead, I wanted to give my kids fun memories to enjoy and look back on in years to come.

We've always wanted to go to Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament but have never lived close enough to actually go, so this Christmas, we were able to visit the castle and check that off our bucket list.


My boys and I loved every moment of our trip to Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament.

We wanted to enjoy the full experience in all ways, so we arrived at the castle in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina an hour and a half before the tournament began just as the doors opened.  I'm so glad we did because we got a quick preview of the show as the King and the Princess arrived with their entourage.  It really got us in the spirit and ready for some medieval fun.


As we came in the doors, we were assigned a knight to root for during the tournament by the color crown we were given.  Then we took a group picture with the King or the Princess by the Royal Photographer.  These were offered for sale later during the tournament if you want a fun memory to take home with you.

While we waited for the seating to begin, we got to wander around the outer courtyard that has all kinds of fun things to look at.  My boys were enthralled by the real swords and knives that were on display to buy.  If you had a little princess or prince, you could buy crowns and light up swords, but my boys were drooling over the Conan the Barbarian replica sword.


Once the doors were opened, we were seated in the Green Knight's section.  The seating consists of long tables around a large arena where all the action takes place.  Each of the place settings has a plate, soup bowl, and drink mug with the menu printed on the napkin so you knew what to expect for dinner and in what order.  Notice that I didn't say there were any silverware since you'll be eating like they did in the medieval times--with your fingers.  My boys LOVED that.

The Medieval Times people took a page out of my favorite party playbook and renamed all their foods with fun names like Dragon Blood soup as the serving wenches came around feeding you.  It made things just a little more fun.


As the food was being served, the show began and we were introduced to all the knights and the story line of the castle.  I loved that it wasn't just a bunch of fighting and showing off (although there was a lot of that much to my boys delight), but there was a little bit of a story weaved into the night's events.


We were able to see wonderful displays of horsemanship, falconry, and medieval knight skills.  The horses train for years to be able to do the amazing tricks and feats that they showed with such ease.  It was pretty cool to watch. 

The knights did all types of fun shows of strength and skill as they participated in the tournament.  After each contest, the Princess gave each knight several carnations to hand out to his supporters as we cheered him on.  It was fun for the audience to feel like they were involved and rewarded for our loud cheering.


As the meal ended, we got to the "best part" according to my boys.  Since the knights were using real swords with lots of sparks and attacking, a mesh safety net was lowered between us and the fighting and the Knights battled each other and the "bad guy". 

While you could tell the fighting was pretty staged, there was enough sword clanging, sparks, rolling, and fighting to thrill my twelve and sixteen year old.  I think they were in heaven and were trying to figure out how they could join the ranks of the kings Knights.


Unfortunately, the Green Knight didn't win the tournament, but we were still able to enjoy the show and save the Princess from the evil bad guy.

Once the show was over, we were able to go back into the outer courtyard and meet all the characters from the show.  My boys were able to talk lots of "sword talk" with the knights and get all their autographs.  It was funny to see them get all shy around the Princess who kept encouraging them to come over and talk to her, but they were much more interested in the knights.

Give your kids a trip into the past this holiday season with a trip to the Medieval Times dinner and tournament.  Your family will love stepping into Medieval Times with its delicious food, daring sword fights, and saving the princess.  Check out our review of the Myrtle Beach Castle and discount ticket codes.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Myrtle Beach Medieval Times Castle and can't wait to go again.  If you are looking for a fun experience for your little Princess or even your big Prince, I would definitely recommend a trip to your local castle.

It's another month with so many wonderful memories and things to journal.  I am so excited for all the fun things we have planned this month and can't wait to scrapbook and list all the great things our family is going to do.

It's become a tradition right now to design up journaling cards for the Listers Gotta List challenge and for my scrapbooking friends.  It's a lot of fun to make these and use all my cute clip art and graphics.


This month I only did 30 journaling cards.  They are losely based on The Reset Girl's Listers Gotta List December challenge.  I love doing this challenge on the journaling cards because they look so cute so I can actually focus on completing the lists and not get sidetracked into not doing it because I want my list to look good.

Am I the only one that has that problem?


But I am a huge fan of the clip art that I used for these sets.  I LOVE gingerbread men and the sweet elfs.  These will be so much fun to decorate for Christmas with.

You can download the journal cards with each journal card as a single or as a set of 6 cards per page.  That way you can use them for however you need to.

I had so much fun designing and using Octobers Journaling Cards that I knew I had to do it again for the month of November.  And it seems that you guys liked these cards too since it was one of my number one posts for the month.  I'm so glad to hear that!


Thanksgiving Printable Journaling Cards

For those of you who are doing the Listers Gotta List lists, these are set up to coordinate with the Reset Girl's November Lists.  I tried to leave them sort of vague for those of us who tweek the lists a little, or who go in different directions with the lists.

For those of you who haven't heard of the Listers Gotta List group, you should definitely check it out.  It's a challenge put on by the Reset Girl each month that gives you a daily prompt and you can list your thoughts when you don't have a lot of time to journal.


Fun photo journaling card printables


For those who use these journaling card printables for your scrapbooking or Project Life books, I tried to create a few fun themes among the cards as well.  There are some pictures journaling cards. Some Thanksgiving journaling cards.  And some cards with fun colors to match your spreads.



I've taken to using the cards in my planner to help me keep organized with my Pinterest pinning of each post I write.  It's worked so nice and makes my planner look so cordinated and fun for the holidays. 



The ideas of these 3x4 inch cards are pretty endless.  What do you use them for?

This month I made them so you can download them as the whole set of JPG pages with 6 cards per page.  Or you can download the individual cards to imput into your favorite graphics program.  Which ever is easiest for you.
