We’re BACK!

We have returned!  The travel for the most part went smoothly, with the exception of the last leg flight from Dallas/Ft. Worth to Raleigh which was delayed, so we got in around 2 AM instead of midnight as originally anticipated.  The cats have forgiven us for deserting them and I’m heading out in a few minutes to give the garden a good drink.  It seems to have weathered the weekend pretty well.

From my perspective the con was AWESOME.  I didn’t spend a lot of money on toys, as we got a great set of commemorative toys as part of our admission.  They’re collector’s grade and beautifully made and painted.  I shipped them home separately with a lot of our other stuff as we had limited room in our bags. 

Tiernen tolerated us and he had fun swimming and staying in the hotel.  I guess the next trip will be for him.

I did get to see most of my Comics in Disguise friends who are all delightful.  We had lots of fun sharing rooms and meals and just generally geeking out together.  And I basked in the Transformer-yness of it all.  I got to meet all the special guests and get autographs and we took TONS of pictures.

Here are a few.  I’ll put them behind a cut to save your bandwidth.

Pictures abound!

No sleep til…BOTCON!

That’s probably not true, but we have a very early flight and must drive about an hour to the airport, so we’ll probably be packing and cleaning until it is time to leave.  I hope to be able to sleep on the plane, but this is unlikely as air travel makes me very nervous.  Anyway, this time tomorrow, we’ll be in the air somewhere over the middle of the country.  Wave as we go by.  I’ll take lots of pictures, I promise, and link them here.

The Woobs is really a saint to be putting up with all of this.
