Saturday, Apr 18 -- SWCA Day 3

We had eaten heavy pizza so late Friday night that Dan wasn't hungry enough Saturday morning to go to IHOP. So we ate Nutrigrain bars and chocolate milk in our hotel room before leaving for the convention center.

I'm really glad we did a lot of our important stuff on Thursday & Friday, because Saturday was a ZOO!!! It was beyond packed!!! (All 4-day passes were sold out and all Saturday-only passes sold out as well so Saturday was expected to be at capacity! - and it was!)

We took all the stuff we purchased on Thursday & Friday, and had it shipped home so we didn't have to worry about how to get it packed and on the plane. It was an expensive-but-well-worth-it solution! One box out the door and we ended up receiving it on Friday the 24th.

Because of the crowds Saturday, we spent most of the day just wandering around and people-watching. Taking pictures. Trying not to get run over, or run over people. It was a mad house!

We left the convention center around 1:30-2:00pm Saturday to find some food. We ended up wandering down to IHOP since we didn't go there for breakfast - we ate well!

We got our pictures done with Mark Hamill & Carrie Fisher!


We stuck around Saturday evening until they kicked us out and closed the exhibition floor. This was it for us.

Then we hung around outside the convention center for quite some time breathing in all the Star Wars atmosphere. The costumes, the music, the excitement.
