Excited about Skylanders SuperChargers
Photo-A-Day #3813

Andrew and I took an epic trip down to New York City today. We were invited to a Skylanders SuperChargers Playdate and we were provided with the tickets for the train ride down and back from the PR firm for Skylanders. I have worked with those folks for the past 5 years on Skylanders and Promoting Skylanders. I am under no obligation to write about the trip but I want to tell you about what a SuperCharged day it was. Oh and the Skylanders Shirt that I have is mine that I made through a review I did a long time ago. I’ve never gotten a Skylanders Shirt that fits me.

On the Train to New York City for Skylanders SuperChargers Playdate

He was exited. “Are we going to New York Today,” he asked. Yes, indeed we were. He was great on the train. He played games on the iPad, colored and ate lots of snacks. Three of his favorite things. When we got off the train in New York I put in the umbrella stroller and headed up to Times Square. He fell asleep two blocks up from the train station. Continue reading A SuperCharged Day in NYC →

Like I said, it was our fourth year at the Faire and each year we have a better and better time of it. It is nice to see the same people again and again as we attend the event. We recalled one past visit where Andrew was crying uncontrollably. I was at the very end of my rope and one of the villages of the realm took a moment to come over and let Andrew play his drum. It was such a special moment that we recall each time we visit. We also enjoy visiting Piers the Purveyor of Pickles. We’ve known him for many years now and even when we are not at the Faire we follow along what is happening in his life. Continue reading Another Day in the Realm →
