The Mystery of Grandma’s Travel Photos
Travel Blog • Michael Yessis • 12.26.07 | 5:14 PM ET
Here’s a sweet tale to stoke any post-Christmas family travel buzz you might have: Inspired by three albums of cryptic travel photos her grandmother passed down, Patricia Morrisroe dives into her family’s past and traces the roots of her own wanderlust. “As for future generations,” she writes in Travel+Leisure, “if my grandmother had purposely set out to frustrate them with the photo albums, she couldn’t have done a better job.”

What a great story—I know my photos won’t prompt any grandchildren to travle as I don’t have any—but my early reading sure did give me the wanderlust.

Loved your story. I, too, have inherited my Grandparents travel photographs. Unfortunately, my Grandfather refused to fly. So, the photos include all 49 states. He wouldn’t make the trip to Hawaii. I love looking at them. Thank you for a wonderful story. I’m going to share your story with my 90 year old Grandmother.
