Freida the Travel Frog

This is Freida.
She's a stuffed frog I got from one of my best friends in middle school, and has since been given the title "The Travel Frog." Whenever I go someplace new (obviously farther than my normal travels) I bring her and take a snapshot . What I'm thinking of doing is putting all of the photos together in a book someday, kind of like a record of where I've been.
What started it all was when my dad was leaving on a business trip for ten days, which was longer than he'd even been away from us. I felt like I should give him something to "remember" me by, so just before he left for the airport, I ran into my room and grabbed Frieda.
 Fast forward ten days later when we were looking at the pictures he took. There Frieda was, perched on the Great Wall of China. That was my inspiration.
Since then, she's been to Virginia Beach, Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Adirondacks and Baltimore. I've taken her hiking for pictures on the summits of mountains and plan on taking her to Florida when I go next month. Usually I try to take her picture in a place where the backround would show where we were or remind me of something we did. In Virginia it was the ocean, in Maine a lighthouse, and in Baltimore she was next to a paper bag from the Hard Rock Cafe.

I'll admit I feel kind of silly bringing around a stuffed frog to all of these places, but it's worth it once I get the shot. :-)
