While I was scanning I took the opportunity to finally scan some fantastic photos I have of my mom’s parents visiting California. They have so much style. Even though the photos were taken in October 1977 – the photos were printed in November 1977 – so they make a perfect NaBloPoMo post.

I love the slightly-out-of-focus photo of my grandparents with 1977 Pooh at Disneyland in California. I added it to the Vintage Disneyland group on flickr.

The following links are Pooh at various theme parks through the ages in snapshots. Many features change over time. 1970, 1971, 1976, 1977, 1980, 1981, 1981b, 1998, 1998b, 1999, 1999b, 1999c, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2003b, 2004, 2004b, 2005, 2005b, 2005c, 2006, 2006b, 2006c, 2006d, 2007, 2008. Here are a few more without an exact year: 1, 2 , 3, 4, 5, 6.

Winnie the Pooh in costume also featured on Disney postcards: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.

Pooh also ran for president in 1976. Happy Election Day! US people go out and vote. There are perks beside making sure the person you want gets elected – there’s free coffee at Starbucks, free Krispy Kreme star-shaped Election Day donuts, and a free scoop of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream (between 5 and 8 p.m.). As usual with these kinds of things – participating locations only. via. If you’re in NY or Seattle you can also get a free sex toy from Babeland. The Babeland offer is good until the 11th.

In all their 70s glory.

Happy Election Day!
