Herbies Great Adventure...

A while ago I introduced the new man in my life....his name is HERBIE, click on his name if you haven't met him yet :)





This past October we were preparing for a business/pleasure trip and Herbie overheard us talking about it!  Well he begged and pleaded for us to take him along....of course we said yes....

Even though we started out early in the morning, Herbie was so excited he would not sit quietly in the car...


Part of our fall trip tradition is to have small pumpkins on our car dash as we travel...a fun reminder as we look at the road ahead that fall has arrived :)


Needless to say, Herbie loved them...especially when he found out that he was taller than all of them....(He seems to have a slight complex about being short :( )

But business before pleasure (or so THEY say)...that meant setting up our space display for the antique show came first...
Initially Herbie was a big help....figuring out where each item showcased best...


 Alas, once he discovered the vintage toys....he lost all interest in helping....

Have you ever tried to get a tiny little man to WORK once he has discovered toys that are just his size?   It is not an easy thing to do....
In all honesty, I just gave up and let him have fun :)

Once the show was over we took a road trip to Montana via Washington....when Herbie saw his first real lake he was enthralled...to the point of insisting he be taken from the car so he could get a closer look at the water....


I was a little worried that the birds flying overhead would think he was dinner since he was standing on the picnic table, but all went well and he was a happy little traveler.

We rushed to get to Montana because the weather report said SNOW was on the way...yep...it snowed...another 1st for the Herbster...out side we went so he could play in the snow...I think he did pretty well making a snow angel...what do you think?




Especially when you realize he came from the Las Vegas area and this was the first snowfall he had ever seen.

By the end of the trip Herbie was doing his happy dance....he had so much fun!
And so did we :)

Wow, what fun! He made a wonderful snow angel, that usually takes years to master!

Thanks for taking us along for the ride! Always fun.

I'm laughing sooooooooo hard! Thanks for the wonderful adventure. It's so nice to begin the day smiling and laughing.

Will the Herbster be joining us for Thanksgiving?

Great post VE. I'm so glad that Herbie got to experience so many new things on your trip.

Now put that little man back to work. He's got a photo shoot coming up and must be ready for it!!!

OK, first I found your etsy shop and fell in love with Herbie there, and then I come over and see him all over your blog. Tell him I have a huge crush on him. I LOVE seeing him in your etsy photos, but the snow angel is brilliant!
