Travels With Minion

My daughter Alyssa, loves the minions from Despicable Me, and often reminds us of the purple ones when she wakes up in the morning, so we were thrilled when we found one in a shop in Portugal.

Alyssa and her minion.                                                               

Now, the intention was to send the minion to her when we returned from Portugal so that she could have it in time for finals.  As luck would have it, that didn't happen. So, we got the bright idea of taking it with us on future trips and taking a few pictures of him, similar to people who kidnap a garden gnome from someone's yard and return it weeks later with pictures of its travels, having more fun than its owner, for sure.   

   

The minion traveled to Amsterdam, Scotland, Portugal, and various places in England before making its way home to her. We now have Snuffles, the bear accompanying us on future travels. Be watching for them in my blogs.

...and so it goes...
