Pin #569: Millennium Falcon


This is the second pin from the Star Wars: The Force Awakens Disney Parks set.  This pin features the Millennium Falcon and shows it flying, perhaps through hyperspace.  I love all pins with the Falcon so expect to see a lot more in the future.

Pin #568: X-Wing


This pin is part of a Star Wars set that was sold at the Disney Parks.  The pins have a cool retro feel to them.  I like them all, so stay tuned the next few days as the rest get featured.

Pin #567: Boba Fett


It's been a while since I've posted to this blog but I'm going to attempt to catch up with all the pins I've collected over the past few years.  Let's start with this Boba Fett pin that I got at the Disney Store as part of a special Star Wars Day release.  I had to go to the store early and wait in line, but it was totally worth it.  It's a good looking pin featuring one of the coolest Star Wars characters.

Pin #563: Hockey Night in Canada


This pin was another gift from the COCA-I conference in Niagara Falls.  I would say it's pretty representative of the host country.  After all, isn't every night hockey night in Canada?

This is yet another pin I got in Niagara Falls.  This one features the famous Canadian maple leaf.  I bought it because I felt like I had to buy a maple leaf pin while in Canada.

Pin #560: Niagara Falls - Horseshoe Falls 2


This is another pin representing Horseshoe Falls at Niagara Falls.  It's more of a cartoonish image of the falls, but you do still get a representation of the boat on which you can view the falls.  It's not my favorite pin from my trip, but I still like it.

Pin #559: Niagara Falls - Horseshoe Falls


This is another pin from Niagara Falls.  This one features Horseshoe Falls, which is one of three falls that make up Niagara Falls.  The pin shows the falls in the background with a rainbow and a horseshoe in the foreground.  You'll notice this is a second pin with a rainbow from Niagara Falls.  That's because there is almost always a rainbow around the falls because of all the water.  It is absolutely breathtaking.

Pin #558: Niagara Falls Canada


This is the first of many pins I got while in Niagara Falls Canada.  It features a cool picture of all three falls with a rainbow overhead.  You can also see the boat on the bottom which is pretty cool.  Niagara Falls was absolutely breathtaking and this pin gives just a glimpse of that.

This pin was a gift from a friend who was working at Walt Disney World.  It features Chewbacca, one of my favorite characters from Star Wars.  I love the portrait look of the pin.  It's very stylish.

Pin #556: Grand Canyon Condor


This is a pin I bought during my latest trip to the Grand Canyon.  It features two condors flying above the canyon.  It's a sight that I have been fortunate enough to see in real life, and I thought the pin was a beautiful representation of it.

Pins #553-554: I"ll be Your Mickey and Minnie


This is another set of pins from my lovely girlfriend for my birthday.  These are super cute because Mickey and Minnie are a cute couple and so are we.  I want her to be my Minnie and she wants me to be her Mickey.  The pins are simple, yet sweet.

Pin #552: Mickey and Minnie


This is another pin that my beautiful girlfriend gave me for my birthday last year.  This one is of Mickey and Minnie holding hands.  I love it because I feel like it represents us, just holding hands, smiling, and staring happily into each other's eyes.

Yet another pin from the 1984 Olympics, this one features the Olympic torch sponsored by the LA Fire Department.  It's a cool pin with the fireman's axes coming out of the side.
