At our hotel in Richmond, the Linden Row Inn, which we were pleasantly surprised to find was an absolutely beautiful and very historic building. The staff were great as well (I think they got a kick out of watching all us Star Wars characters roaming about!).

Members of the Rebel Legion begin to line up for the parade
We soon caught up with members of Garrison Tyranus
More of the parade participants--some of Richmond's mounted police. They looked great, but we were glad to not be marching behind them!
After the parade, we took R2-KT to the science museum for a character lunch with underpriveleged children. Here R2-KT is doing what she does best--delighting some of the younglings at the museum
The girls decide to go shopping!
Not to be outdone, the scouts decide they want to go shopping with R2-KT too
Group photo--Merry Christmas from the Carolina Garrison!

Or maybe not so peacefully!
After enjoying an afternoon at the museum, the scouts load R2-KT for the trip home
Back at the hotel, we decide to explore before starting the trip home.
