Pin #501: Grand Canyon Rim to Rim

This is yet another pin from the Grand Canyon.  This one celebrates the rim to rim hike and features the Kaibab Suspension Bridge over the Colorado River.  You can see this bridge from a few spots along the rim.  It's cool to be able to point it out.  So I felt like I should buy the pin that featured it.

Pin #500: Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage

This pin represents the Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage, which took the place of the 20000 Leagues Under the Sea Submarine Voyage.  They are basically the same ride except now there are Finding Nemo characters projected throughout the ride.  I'm not sure how I feel about the changes.  My mom found this pin somewhere and got it for me.  It's hard to tell in the picture, but the porthole is actually in 3D.  I probably wouldn't have bought this pin myself, but I still like it.

Pin #499: Arizona Cactus

This is another pin sent to camp from Arizona Tourism.  At least, I think it is.  I might have got it somewhere else.  I don't really remember.  Because I live in Arizona, I come across random Arizona pins from time to time.  This one has a saguaro cactus, which is a staple of the state.  It's a bit of a cheap looking pin, but you can still tell it's a cactus.

Pin #498: Mississippi

This is another pin that I got during camp when we had our Road Trip theme year.  Mississippi sent us some stuff to give away, including these pins.  It features the state flag and the nickname, The Magnolia State.

Pins #496-497: Wall-E and Eve

These two pins were sold as one at Disneyland.  I have seen them for a couple years now, and always wanted them, but didn't buy them until recently.  The more I've seen Wall-E, the more I fall in love with the movie and with him.  I'm convinced that he is my spirit robot.  And I think the relationship that blossoms between Wall-E and Eve throughout the movie is absolutely beautiful.  So I decided I really needed these pins, and they make me smile every time I look at them.

Pin #495: The Bluebird Cafe

This is another pin that I believe my dad got me in Nashville.  It's from the Bluebird Cafe, which I don't really know anything about.  I assume it must be significant for something.  I do like the pin, though, with the flying bluebird and the script font.  It looks cool.

Pin #494: CNN

This is a CNN pin.  The Earth behind the CNN logo moves too!  I have no idea where I got this pin, though.  I've never been to Atlanta or the CNN headquarters, and I don't remember knowing anyone who has.  I assume someone gave this to me, but it would be a pin I would buy if I saw it at CNN.
