Queen Victoria's non-birthday celebration

HISTORY! >>>

Metro Parks Tacoma is throwing a big birthday party today for Queen Victoria at the Fort Nisqually Living History Museum. Ah, that's nice.

Hey, wait a minute.

Victoria, daughter of Edward, the Duke of Kent and Princess Victoria of Saxe-Coburg, was born in Kensington Palace in London on May 24, 1819.  Metro Parks is throwing a huge birthday party on the wrong day!  The dancing, the songs, the re-enactors, the games - all on the wrong day! 

There's punch and cookies? 

Happy Birthday Victoria!
