Pin #455: 2010 BCS National Championship

This is a pin from the 2010 BCS National Championship Game featuring Texas and Alabama.  The game was played at the Rose Bowl, which is why I got the pin.  It was another gift from our family friend on the Rose Bowl Committee.  It's another standard bowl game pin with the helmets of the competing teams.  However, you do get the roses in the upper corners of the pin which classes it up a little.

Pin #454: Golden Gate Bridge

I got this pin in San Francisco.  It features the iconic image of the Golden Gate Bridge.  The Golden Gate is a lasting symbol of not just San Francisco, but also of America.  And I like that this pin really enhances the red color and also makes the sky look like it is near sunset.  It's a very neat looking pin which is why it stood out and why I bought it.

Pin #453: Reno

This pin features the famous sign from Reno, Nevada, proclaiming it the biggest little city in the world.  I've never actually been to Reno, but someone has and they brought me back a pin.

Pin #452: Seoul 1988

This is a pin from the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul.  It features the mascot, Hodori, a tiger.  He's kind of a cute mascot.  I got the pin as part of the group of pins my mom got from one of her clients.

Pin #451: Why Do We Have to Grow Up?

This is another pin from my Disney quotes collection.  This is one of my favorites from that collection because it has an awesome quote and features classic Mickey.

Pin #450: Kauai

This is a pin from Kauai, which is in Hawaii.  It features an ocean setting with a whale tail, palm tree, and volcano in the background.  It's a nice scenery pin.  I've never been to Kauai so I know I didn't buy this pin myself.  In fact, I don't really remember where I got it or who gave it to me.  But I like it!

Pin #449: Connecticut

This is quite possibly the most boring pin in my collection.  I mean, c'mon Connecticut, put some sort of thought into your pin.  This was another pin that was sent to our camp as a giveaway.  I can see why they would give these away.  Connecticut is such a beautiful state and I would hope they have some new pins that celebrate that beauty.
