How Will This Work?
One week from today I plan to be among the number at the San Diego Comic Con. I keep thinking I must be utterly mad to try Comic Con with Finn. It's not like the Sky and Winter, for whom Con was much smaller when they were much smaller, and who have so many friends of the family at the Con. Finn and I won't have a home base, like a booth or table. And Finn is such a physical guy. He's gonna need get-out-and-crawl time! He won't let me sit through any panels, and I won't be able to go out to dinner. Finn is fairly impossible at a restaurant these days unless he is dead asleep, or can crawl on the floor and I run after him every few bites.
I have to do some research on what else is in the area that is baby/toddler friendly. I can go swimming at our hotel, but he doesn't last too long in the water. Half hour at best. Ivy and I took the girls to a children's museum near the Convention Center years ago. I wonder if that is still around.
Right now the plan is thus:
Robynne comes into town Monday. We spend Monday through Wednesday prepping. Wednesday we travel down to San Diego and stay somewhere nearby that's cheap. Hopefully start driving around 8 PM so Finn will sleep. He's NOT a good car baby!
Thursday morning get up and into downtown early enough to get badges early. I will check us into the Horton Grand some time during the day.
Friday morning we check out of the HG, and transfer over to my friend Mike's place. He's leaving town that weekend, and lives near PetCo Park. That's REALLY close!
After that, I have no idea how things will go. I might abandon Con all together and do the Zoo or something.
