Day 4

Finally, the last of the convention photos. Next, we will be on to something new!

Day 4 was the last day of our trip, and was another driving day. But before we hit the road there was time for some frantic last day shopping and sightseeing! First I made a hasty trip down to the end of the harbor area to see the carousel - the carousel is wooden and therefore historical, but it's not in the greatest condition anymore, unfortunately. Still, it was great to see it, even tho I didn't get to ride it. No Pinky photos there either. I did take a couple from the skywalk on the way over to the convention though. The skywalk is cool (Boston needs some of these!) and there's a pretty nice fountain type thing that you sort of walk through at one point. Here's Agito admiring it:





It was a long walk down to the end of the pier and a hot day.. I saw some people with a golf cart and some peope with segways... that may've been the only time I ever envied those particular forms of transportation!!

But finally I was at the convention and able to get into the dealer's room for some frantic shopping. Much to my surprise, there was a line waiting to get in!! I guess I shouldn't be surprised, the last day often features some good deals, and even if you can't get a great sale price, it's still your last chance to buy stuff before you go home! I did get some great deals - several rement sets for $3 each, a $3 figumate, some $1 pencil boards, $6 Pinky markers, buy one get one free manga... I really should've taken a picture of all my loot, but somehow I never did that. Maybe later...

2 of the few stands that actually still had Pinkys by Sunday:

And that's all from Otakon! Yay, finally! I had a great time, and I think the Pinky gang did too! ^.^
