Do you buy souvenirs while on vacation? I try not to bring tchotkes like magnets, t-shirts and the like home from my travels. In general, I find them to be a waste of money, and I don’t want to give up precious refrigerator, closet or drawer space for items I’ll probably never use. Just say “no” to clutter!
But when we were in Miami last weekend, my mom spotted the perfect souvenir for Levi: Good Night Florida, a board board from the Good Night Our World series. Each book highlights the attractions of a particular location, going through a day’s worth of activities. Thanks to a childhood friend, we already own Good Night New Jersey; she wanted to make sure Levi was connected to his mama’s East Coast roots. (She paired the book with Rockabye Baby! Lullaby Renditions of Bon Jovi–so clever!)
It’s hard to think of books as silly souvenirs, and I love the idea of starting a collection of Good Night books from all the places we visit. These books are not literary works of art, but they are cute and fun to read.
PS: Here are some photos from our trip to Miami and South Beach!
