DragonCon Parade 2010

On Labor Day, Greg, Elizabeth, Jacob, Aloysia and I headed to downtown Atlanta for the DragonCon parade. Elizabeth, Jacob and Aloysia are our new live-ins every 3 weeks because quite conveniently our house in Atlanta is halfway between Kentucky, where Elizabeth works, and New Orleans, where Jacob goes to law school.
DragonCon is a sci-fi convention, and we were really hoping to see something like this...

Instead we saw this...
Sorry for the small picture, but what you are looking at is an empty Peachtree St. Turns out, the parade happened on Saturday and we missed it!


To make ourselves feel better, we snuck into the exhibition and saw lots of medieval swords (featured in this picture), corsets, dragons, and ceramic fairies, not to mention a bunch of superhero's walking around.

I wore my "Flash Gordon" shirt to fit in.

I think I'll be needing a better view of that t-shirt of your's, see, I'm not actually convinced that you own such an article...

Emily- she owns it. I saw it with my own eyes. She totally fit in at the convention...

Bummer - that you didn't get to see some LIVE entertainment... but hopefully it was still a fun day.
