In addition to the various “talking” fridge magnets listed yesterday, of course, we have many non-speaking magnets, mostly travel memories with pictures. These allow you a pleasant moment there at the fridge door, drifing back through time & space to revisit via virtual vacation a pleasant place you’ve been before.

So our fridge magnets tell us tales of the times we’ve had and travels we enjoyed. Alaska leads the list for us, with 8 “Alaska” magnets gathered on our 3 trips (so far — we’re aiming to become bi-seasonal eventually), plus a few site-specific magnets:

• Talkeetna, Alaska
• Alaska Marine Highway (more than simply a site, this ferryboat system connects the towns of Southeast Alaska)
• Anchor Point, AK, North America’s Most Westerly Highway Point

The first time we headed to Alaska, we drove up & back. Going north, we danced along the Continental Divide, visiting numerous incredible parks:

• Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Monument (now Nat’l Park)
• Dinosaur, Colorado
• Yellowstone National Park
• Glacier National Park

Later, we returned by a different route to catch the wonders of the West and the Southwest canyonlands:

• Crater Lake National Park
• Zion
• Grand Canyon

Other old favorites come from our neighbor, New Mexico, Land of Enchantment:

• Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad
• Tinkertown, New Mexico USA

Closer to home, we have a magnet from the Canyon of the Eagles

And finally: Hollywood! Hooray for Hollywood!
