This year, we have been to the Pacific Ocean, Great Lakes, Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean. So with all of those stops, I collected way more than 25 ornaments to blog about this year. Some I spent no money on and others, I spent a bit more than I would have liked.
Today's ornament is in the category. When I first saw it, I immediately liked it, but I didn't really want to pay 10 dollars for it. Yes, I know that I have paid much more many times before. I passed on buying it, and we left the store.
For the next few days, that ornament was all that I could think about. I finally decided that I wanted it. I looked online and couldn't find it. We made it back to a store that would have it, and they did not have the ornament. Robby dropped me off at another store with no luck again.
I had almost given up hope, but when we stopped again at one of these stores, there it was. Graham was standing right in front of it, and it was like a halo adorning his head. If you are wondering what store we frequent so much on a vacation, well, it is 7-Eleven.
Their Slurpees there make all of my people very, very happy. They will ride in the car happily for miles and miles with the promise of a slurpee. Some of them even talk about owning a 7-Eleven in Little Rock someday.
Now, my Slurpee ornament is happily hanging on my tree, and I have probably learned my lesson about not buying something when I see it the first time!
