This past Labor Day weekend, we left our current lives and traveled back in time to live as the colonials did over 200 years ago. Nestled in the beautiful pine trees near Big Bear we embarked on Helen's first rendezvous at Holcomb Valley. The weather was beautiful, the company great, and a good time was had by all. Helen has now been officially baptised into our re-enactment world, and boy she did it with a lot of style too.
