Pin #465: Yellowstone National Park

I really like this pin because it looks like an old travel poster.  It advertises Yellowstone National Park as America's First National Park and features a picture of the grey wolf.  It just has a very old fashioned look to it, which I love.  I don't remember where I got this pin, but seeing as I've never been to Yellowstone, it must have been a gift.

Pin #464: Monterey Bay Aquarium

This pin was a gift from a friend who went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium.  I've been to the Aquarium, but it was many years ago.  If you've never been, you really should.  It is quite amazing.  I really like this pin, though, because it features an otter.  The otters at the Aquarium are very amusing to watch.

Pin #463: Woody Woodpecker and Chilly Willy

This is another pin I bought off the clearance shelf at Universal Studios.  I still can't believe how many cool pins they had on clearance.  This one features Woody Woodpecker and Chilly Willy.  Woody Woodpecker has always been one of my favorite cartoon characters, so finding this one was a real treasure.

Pin #462: Air Force One

I bought this pin during my trip to Washington DC.  It features Air Force One flying over the White House.  I really thought it was cool because it shows two iconic aspects of DC.

Pin #461: Grand Canyon Gold

This is yet another pin I got during a visit to the Grand Canyon.  It features an image of the Canyon with the whole pin colored gold.  I really like how majestic the gold coloring makes the pin look, and the detail of the Canyon really stands out, too.

Pin #460: San Antonio

I bought this pin during a trip to San Antonio.  It features a desert landscape with the words, "Wild West" at the top.  I'm not sure how much San Antonio is really associated with the wild west, but it is in Texas.  It's not my favorite San Antonio pin, but I still like it.

Pin #459: Pirate Mickey Ears

This pin was released shortly after the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie came out.  It features the traditional Mickey ears with a pirate bandana and gold earring.  I thought it was really cool when I first saw it because it was different at the time and I love Pirates.  Now this is one of the more popular pins.  I see it all the time at Disneyland.  And they also started making a lot of decorative Mickey ear pins, so you could have a whole collection of those.  I like this one the best though.

Pin #458: Jedi Mickey

This pin was another gift from a friend.  It features Mickey in a scene from Star Wars dressed as Luke Skywalker.  For those who follow the blog you know I'm a huge Disney fan and a huge Star Wars fan, so this pin is amazing!  You can also see detail from the Millennium Falcon in the background, more accurately depicting the scene from Star Wars.  I love this pin!

Pin #457: Bill Clinton Presidential Library

This is another pin from the Bill Clinton Presidential Library.  I know it doesn't say that anywhere on the pin, but I remember my dad giving it to me after he went there.  Plus, you can sort of see the Arkansas state flag on the building.  But it is an interesting pin showing the exterior of the building.  It doesn't really show off anything unique or distinguished about the building, though.  But it's always cool to have a pin from a presidential library.

Pin #456: Hyde Park

This is a pin from Hyde Park in New York.  I really know nothing about this place, nor do I ever recall going there.  So I'm pretty sure this pin was a gift.  I like the brushed bronze look.  Those who have been following my blog know that I have quite a few pins with that look.
