We Were There

Already I’m nostalgic about this trip, and it isn’t even entirely over. Patrick calls me “pre-sentimentalist.” One small thing I’ve enjoyed is when I’m listening to Talk of the Nation or Car Talk or some other radio show where people call up to say, “I’m Ellen from Magnolia, Arkansas.” Or, “This is Chris from Albuquerque.” “Jenny from Staunton, Virginia.” And we’ve been there. All these places, these small large sleepy urban ramshackle hipster remote towns we’ve seen. I feel like the whole country is mine now.

There were so many correct answers to our final WWWW – trusty Random.org chose our winner – congrats to Chris! This photo was taken in Zion. And thank you to everyone who has followed along and played each week.

 

Where Were We Wednesday (#16 – The Final Photo)

This will be our last WWWW. Our trip is winding down; the Minnie is back on the West Coast and we’re each going to spend some time with our families before we return to the Bay Area. Where did this year go?? I’m constantly amazed by how quickly the weeks pass. After nearly 11 months on the road, our thoughts are now turning to next steps, job searches, having a home that isn’t on wheels. For our final WWWW, I’m highlighting one of our very favorite spots and will put together a prize package with some fun souvenirs from across the country.

Here’s this week’s picture.

A day late but that’s just how it goes sometimes. Each week in WWWW I post a photo of a place we’ve visited during our trip. Guess where we were, and you could win a little prize! This week’s winner will receive a souvenir pin from the place where the photo was taken. Patrick has been collecting these pins throughout our trip; he now has a straw hat so laden with them it’s too heavy to wear.

Here’s this week’s picture.

Last Week’s Winner

This photo was taken at the Baha’i Temple in Chicago. Judy, Patrick’s mom, had the correct answer but her loving sons deemed it cheating, as she was with us when it was taken. I’m not going to get in the middle of that…However, Mike Kelso also answered correctly via Twitter. Mike, congrats!

Each week in WWWW I post a photo of somewhere we’ve visited during our trip. Guess where we were, and you could win a little prize! This week’s winner will receive a souvenir lobster-shaped lollypop from Maine, our latest stop. I believe the lolly is cherry-flavored, not lobster-flavored, though the winner shall be the judge of that.
