Remembering your travels

My traveling partner and myself always like to bring something back from our adventures. 

There are some required items that are brought back from each new destination:  plate, shot glass, and a shot glass for my eldest child.  We also try and pick up something that reflects the area of where we visited as a reminder of our fun trip.  We also try and bring back a small token souvenir for our managers.

This last trip to New Mexico included buying so much stuff that we actually had to borrow a suitcase from Aaron to bring it all back!

Here's some of our recent items:


 
A new welcome sign to hang out in front of our house

 
My Indian bowl and little Kachina doll
 
 
And our souvenir plates from Albuquerque and Santa Fe
 
We love to stand in our kitchen and look at each plate and remember the trip that was associated with it.  We have been very lucky to have had the opportunity to visit so many places.  These items are a constant reminder to us about all the exciting journeys that we have taken and all the future destinations that are still left for us to explore.
 
 
 
Looks like I'm going to need a bigger kitchen!
