Top Ten List - Mementos of a Summer Vacation (Part Two - 6 to 4)

Top Ten List - Mementos of a Summer Vacation (Part Two - 6 to 4)

Below are three more summer mementos in the list.









6.Shopping Bargains.  Remember to hit the outlet mall and find your super large beach towel, leather handbag or fine crystal to showcase your vacation shopping talents.  And how about Christmas in July - stock up now and be ready to avoid those December crowds.  You can also shop the local craftspeople and their stores for beautiful jewelry and crafts.

5.Seashells and other creatures.  In addition to seashells there may be starfish and urchin to bring back from the sea. Collect every day and decorate beach style at home.  Some will be lucky enough to even discover a  beach conch shell.

4.Hats.  One of my favorite hat mementos was a Detroit Pistons black "bad boy" cap that was actually given as a gift on my return home at the airport from a working vacation. Yet, I enjoyed seeing it worn almost as much as the wearer.  Ultimately and regretfully, it was torn up most thoroughly through frequent wear.  Another favorite memento of almost archetypal status is my rice farmer hat woven from straw.  It was a real not tourist item that I used for actual sun protection abroad until finally sporting it on my arrival back home at Dulles airport.  I show a picture of this favorite sun hat in tribute to the many workers who used these hats daily for sun protection in Asia.  They really work quite well.
