Pin #213: Catalina

This pin is from Catalina Island.  It's an island off the coast of California, and I think everyone who grew up in southern California has been there at least once.  Obviously you have to take a boat to get there, which is what is shown on this pin.  I don't actually remember buying this pin myself, though.  It might have been a gift.  Either way, I like it.

Pin #212: Morro Bay

This is a pin from Morro Bay, featuring a sea otter.  I don't recall ever going to Morro Bay or buying this pin and I don't know who might have given it to me.  But the otter is cute.  I like watching otters play.  They seem to have a lot of fun in life.  It might be nice to be an otter for a day, or longer.

Pin #211: Hispanic Americans Replica Stamp

Ahhh, another replica stamp pin.  This one is honoring Hispanic Americans.  I'm not sure exactly when the actual stamp was released but it was clearly when stamps were a lot cheaper.  Only 20 cents!  Again, I assume that this pin was part of the group of other stamp pins that I got from somebody.

Pin #210: Gold Creek Salmon Bake

This is another pin that my parents brought back for me from their Alaska cruise.  I like this one.  It has a cool fish drawing and it's shiny.  I don't really know anything else about it, but it definitely stands out on my board because of the gold background.  Again, I like it.

Pin #209: 1994 World Cup - Orlando

This pin is from the 1994 World Cup which was played in the US.  I didn't actually go to any of the World Cup games that year, but I did take a family vacation to Orlando about a month before the games were played, which is where I got this pin.  It's a very cluttered pin featuring the World Cup logo, the mascot, and a bunch of things that supposedly represent Orlando.  I'm pretty sure this was a novelty impulse buy, or it might have even been a giveaway somewhere.  I'm not entirely sure.  Either way, I have a soccer pin on my board.

Pin #208: 1985 Frontierland

This pin was part of Disneyland's 30th Anniversary celebration in 1985.  There was a pin released for each land in Disneyland.  Those who have been following my blog know that I also have the Adventureland pin.  This one recognizes Frontierland and features Pete dressed as a cowboy.  This is one of the earliest pins I remember having.

Pin #207: Roma

My parents brought this pin back for me from their trip to Italy.  It's from Rome, obviously, and has a profile of the Colosseum.  It's a tiny pin, but it's still cool.
