Every family will have it's eccentricities. Little quirks that make you laugh at family reunions but things that you hope your romantic partners don't ever know about. Mine would be the Family Unicorn and Turtle. Now I know what you are thinking, there are no such things as Unicorns and why would I be worried about a Turtle? Now the Turtle is a taxidermist stuffed turtle and the unicorn is this hideous marble head. When I was growing up these two things were passed between members of the family as a joke. You never know when you would get shipped a Christmas centerpiece with the turtle as Santa and the unicorn as Rudolph. Or you'd come home to a postcard of the Turtle floating in the Mediterranean in just a little turtle speedo. Basically two White Elephant Jokes gone wrong... This week while organizing all my pictures I came across a road trip that I made up to SLO when I was just out of college...
Best little navigator ever... though I think he's confused, a few too many maps.
And apparently my little unicorn was lonely until he fell in love with a goat!
Until the goat had to say goodbye...
Aw, poor goat. He needs a surrogate!
