PHEW. July was a busy month and after almost 2 weeks away, I’m finally back HOME (sweet home). With my doggie. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Doing “trip reports” helps me re-live my vacations so I guess it’s finally time to start my Comic-Con<\/a> recap! I’m going to do this in 4 parts (click pics for bigger) starting with a (very) quick post on preview night…<\/p>\n

Wednesday, July 20<\/b>
\nWe left late morning to get to San Diego by lunch.<\/p>\n

Domo kept me company in the backseat and we got there in no time. WOOT. After lunch (at Hash House a Go Go<\/a> – yummers), we headed downtown.<\/p>\n

See those people in line under the tents? They’re waiting for the Twilight panel, which wouldn’t start until the next morning. !!!<\/p>\n

The new pedestrian bridge that connects the convention center to Petco Park. It looked cool so we walked across it. LOL.<\/p>\n

View from the bridge – pretty!<\/p>\n

Finally, we went over to the convention center to pick up our badges and check out the exhibition hall. I’m glad we had preview night tickets because the crowds were pretty light (especially compared to the crowds we’d see when the Con actually started) — plus we got to scope out the merchandise ahead of time!). I didn’t do a great job at taking lots of pictures but I’ll share what I have…<\/p>\n

I found Chewy and Domo!<\/p>\n

Marvel’s Avengers booth. Excited for this movie! I think they were giving out free t-shirts but I didn’t get one. I was too lazy to try and get in front of the crowd.<\/p>\n


\n<\/a>

Ooohhh. Lego Hogwarts!<\/p>\n


\n<\/a>

The DeLorean. So cool.<\/p>\n


\n<\/a><\/p>\n

There was a large Voltron figurine on the floor and a live one walking around.<\/p>\n


\n<\/a>
\n<\/center><\/p>\n

There were quite a few gaming stations on one end of the hall so Rob tried out the Captain America game in 3D. The 3D was so crisp!<\/p>\n


\n<\/a>
\n<\/center><\/p>\n

The aisles were crowded but not nearly as bad as it would be in upcoming days.<\/p>\n


\n<\/a>
\n<\/center><\/p>\n

After 3 hours of walking the floor, we headed back to the hotel to rest up for the next day. Bye for now!<\/p>\n
