So, yesterday I woke up at 7am and prepared to invade Maryland again to hang out with the lovely Laura... only difference was... my parents were going, too! At 8am, we left the house and filled up the gas tank at Wawa. I got a hot tea. mmm.
We departed NJ and made our way southbound. Delaware went by quick and we were soon in Maryland... so we stopped at the Maryland House rest stop for some fooooood. Cinnabon?! yus! I bought some scratchoff lottery tickets and won $30. Great start for the day!
Arrived to the Marriot at 10:30 and stood in line until we were let in at around 11:05ish.. tried calling Laura a few times, but no answer. at about 11:15, she called and said they just showed up. I informed her that Rutget Hauer wouldn't be there, and she let out a shriek and I think her heart stopped for a good 10 seconds.
Anyways, I went upstairs and met up with Laura and her mom, and my parents finally got to meet her. Things kicked off really well.
Around now is when this storytelling will get foggy. Merch was bought, actors were met... including the guy who does the voice of the Cryptkeeper, George Romero, Tom Savini, Tony Todd...
After the convention (and alot poorer), the 4 of us went to Baltimore Harbor and had an amazing time at the aquarium (did you guys know that kids are electronic devices?!), and a kickass seafood buffet!
Sadly, we left at 7pm... but not without 2 awesome hugs from Laura
