Hawaii and Alaska



Remember playing the "license plate game" while traveling as a child? (Okay - some of us play it as adults, but you know what I mean.) I flipped out when I saw this Hawaii plate in a parking lot here in Minnesota a few weeks ago. It's only the second time in my life I've ever seen a Hawaii plate!

So then later that very same week, I was getting on the freeway and I saw an Alaska plate! Hawaii and Alaska in the same week - how crazy is that? Well, from the quality of this shot, it's obviously not as crazy as trying to use a camera while accelerating onto the freeway . . . No, my husband does not read my blog! Anyhow, I definitely do NOT recommend trying to take photos while going 60+ mph on 169. No crashes, fortunately, just a little extra heart-pounding.

I realize that the actual plate is illegible, so here's what Google images shows:

I've never been to either of these states, but I'd sure love to go! This was one of those fun, silly, serendipity moments.
