Grand Canyon or Bust, 1963

Today's installment of the mystery family's vacation is the last on our trip west and begins with a stop at Hoover Dam, then moves on to Meteor Crater and ends at the Grand Canyon.

Disneyland 1963, Part 2

Today we wrap up our trip to Disneyland 1963, but stick around for the remainder of the trip.  The one thing I noticed about these slides is you never see the person behind the camera, presumably Dad. And many times, he's not even on the ride with the family.  Little did he know that what he saw through his viewfinder would one day be seen by at least 10's of people from around the world (there's that many of you out there, aren't there???)

Four Color Find

I was out doing a little garage saling Saturday morning (it's been a while) and came across some vintage '60's and '70's comic books.  Some were marked 50 cents, but most were in a box marked 10 cents each.  They're not going to put my kids through college, but there were some neat finds in there and make for excellent bathroom reading.  There were a couple that deserve a standalone blog post, so I'm withholding those for later.  Here are the rest, along with some of the more interesting ads.

T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents, Tower Comics, September 1967.  Gil Kane cover.

Disneyland 1963, Part 1

Continuing our mystery family's vacation slides from 1963 finds us in Disneyland. There were quite a few slides, so I'm breaking it into two parts.  Part 1 features Fantasyland, Sleeping Beauty's Castle and around the park.

 Do the Dwarves still have those peep holes in their hats?

Las Vegas, 1963

These are from a lot of slides I bought at a sale today.  I'll be posting more later (from the same trip, but not of Vegas.  Think Las Vegas for kids).

Down South 1954

This was another find at the big brochure sale from a while back.  From 1954, Down South on the Beautiful Gulf Coast featuring motels and attractions in and around Biloxi, Mississippi.

Knight Rider Activity Book

I bought this Knight Rider Activity Book at a garage sale a few weekends ago.
