Some people have passports filled with colorful stamps from around the globe. Others collect postcards. My grandmother had an impressive collection of state plates adorning the walls of her Florida trailer.
What about us? Here's a photo of the things we've accumulated during our travels.
An assortment of T-shirts from Amazon and KOA, grocery store reward cards, two library cards, KOA nametags and even Dooley's new North Carolina rabies tag.
I've also thrown away two pre-paid laundromat cards which would have added some pizzazz to the collection.
In part, what I think this represents (other than the majority of our wardrobe) is that we aren't really vacationers, but real people who are living life in a somewhat unconventional manner.
Plus, all these things are unbreakable...unlike those state plates.
MY FIL used to buy a ball cap from every place they went. Love that saying on the shirt: Work hard, have fun, make history. What a great motto for life. - Robin
ReplyDeleteSo true about the motto! I'll have to keep that in mind.
