Important Mementos

Vacations take us away from the daily routine to eat more than we normally dare, sleep a little bit longer, and get closer with those we love. Memories are captured in our photography and our smiles at the end of the day. Often days are spent on beaches where our toes delight in the feel of the cool, wet sifting sand. Bulging pockets collect rocks from every location. Mementos are gathered and kept and stored away in tiny bottles and large jars where those times can, with a quick glance, be remembered at stolen moments during our normal rapid paced day.
