Class Trip~Part 2

Moving onto:

Day 2
This day was mostly spent at museums: Geppi's Entertainment Museum and the Sports Legends Museum. We started off the day with Geppi's.
If you are going to visit Baltimore, go visit this place! It's all about the history of media and how Americans looked to their favorite comics/TV/icons to pull them out of their everyday lives. It's stocked with first-edition comics for Peanuts, superheros, and hundreds more. Plus our tour guide was really funny and it was just a cool place to go to!

In the pictures, all the movie posters are the originals that were displayed back when the movies were first in theaters, and the comics are first editions. The pictures of scenes from Snow White are the original slides drawn by the Disney artists. If you have any questions about other objects in the photos, feel free to comment :)












Now I don't have a lot of pictures from the Sports Legends Museum, because if you can tell, I am not very much into that kind of stuff. But they did have this station where you can try on famous players' uniforms, and as you can see my friends didn't exactly wear the right size :P



After that, we went to the local mall and ate lunch and bought some souvenirs. I bought a strawberry charm for my phone at a jewelry booth.

A small, sad story: Remember when I went to New York for New Year's? Well while I was there I got a cell phone charm that was a little yellow sparkly ladybug inside a blue ring. Sadly, I lost the ladybug part of the charm and had to replace it with another not-as-sparkly bead. That's why the strawberry is now on my phone. (Picture of the old charm below)

And after the mall came the long, tedious bus ride back to Pittsburgh. Thanks for listening!

P.S. Wanna see more shots of my trip? I'll be adding photos to my Flickr page gradually (as in probably all next month *groan*), since I am about 98% full for my limit this month. This is what happened last time when we went to D.C.! Yeah I know, I can always just upload them straight to my Blogger posts, but hey sometimes that takes too long and you can't always see everything

Plus I almost over that limit, too :P
