I recently had to get a new passport. I was very pleasantly surprised when the government mailed me back my old one! It’s is full of so many memories from so many great trips.

One of my favorite sections is where Delicious and I got stamped going in and out of Morocco. Somehow we only needed one stamp. But when we saw another man with a stamp, we made sure to get a second. We were so excited to get stamped from Morocco, from Africa!

Visas are a relatively new thing for me, so the pages with those just seem fancy.

Looking at each page in the passport transports me to some vacation. Seeing the Ecuador stamp makes me smile thinking of Wonder Boy’s first international trip. That was in 2006 and since then he’s been to seven more countries!

I love my France stamp because it reminds me of my $65 whirlwind trip with The Man Who Toasts Ronald Reagan.

Mostly I’m just taken by how many places I’ve been fortunate enough to visit. Now I have this empty book just needing to be filled up. So very many places to go!
