How It All Began...


Kevin and I have been collecting cancellation stamps for the national parks since spring break of 2000 (March 13th, to be exact). That was the day I decided against the magnets, shot glasses and spoons sold at the gift shop under the Gateway Arch and decided to buy my first Passport book. No matter where we go, when we get to a historical place, we take pictures for the kids in my class that year, but my favorite ones are part of a series that someday senators at some official hearing will be calling the "Mr. Burke Defiles History Affair".

It all began simply enough...all the kids in every class I've ever had adore my husband, so they love to see pictures of him being silly. Plus, I have this problem with some of the park statues. I LOVE those lifelike ones...but they TOTALLY creep me out, so I'm never brave enough to stand near one. So, some of our pics are just of Kevin interacting with the statues, not really doing anything harmful, while others...well, let's just take a look, shall we?
