Last year the boys complained that we saw too many “military forts, rocks, and sunken ships” so we asked them what they wanted to do on vacation this year. Their answer was a Comic Con. So here we are!
The people watching was incredible. So many people dressed up in their cosplay outfits. Hundreds of vendors of anything you could think of related to Star Wars, TV shows, Anime, or Pokémon (and any other fandom you can think of). Celebrities of TV shows and movies were there and were signing autographs and photos.
The boys loved it. Carson got a photo and autograph of Ella Purnell, who is the main character in Fallout TV show. Spencer got a photo with Charles Martinet, the voice of Mario in the video game, and then James Arnold Taylor, who is voice of Obi Wan Kenobi the Clone Wars animated TV show. Spencer also splurged on a sword that is a replica of Strider/Aragon’s sword in Lord of the Rings. Jeff and I went to a panel about teaching Role Playing Games in the classroom and then Jeff saw a Q&A with Brie Larsen, who plays Captain Marvel in the movie.
We spent about 5 hours there and then we were all ready to go back to the campsite. We had taken the commuter train to the convention center, and it was a lot hotter walking back as it hit 92 degrees today!
We were able to see another gorgeous sunset tonight and even the clouds in the opposite side of the sky were amazing. Once the sun went down, it cooled down and was another perfect sleeping weather night.
