Just for a little background on this series of related posts, you can read all about the makings of the Traveling Totes Tribe here. This past month, my tote (Miss Luna C) and I went to the park - two, in fact!
The photo above was taken in Mainstrasse Village, a quaint little town in Covington, KY. Each year they celebrate their German heritage with Oktoberfest and Maifest, featuring music, foods, bazaars and much more, all focused within their city's central, historic district.
Within the park, there is a wonderful clock tower, which is otherwise known as the Pied Piper Bell Tower. Designed to look like a traditional glockenspiel, on each hour the tower balcony comes "alive" with animated figures.
Miss Luna C's second park trip was less urban, and a whole lot more adventurous for us. We traveled to one of our National Parks, The New River Gorge National Park, in Fayetteville, WV.
It was here where Mr. P. and I adventured through the forest on the Endless Wall Trail and, later, on the Bridgewalk. Prior to hiking the trail, we made a pit stop and I posed with Miss Luna C. Tucked back into the cargo space of the car while we hiked, the tote was full of water and granola bars once we returned from our adventures. You can read all about our adventures that day at the National Park in this post.
Where have all the other Traveling Tote tribe members been of late? By all means, go check them out at the links below. I tell ya, these girls get around!

Be sure to come back on October 30th for yet another episode of Tales of the Traveling Totes and see what the girls have been up to. I'm already planning mine. ;)
To have a chance for winning her giveaway as part of the Tales of the Traveling Totes series, be sure to stop by Linda's blog @ More Fun Less Laundry. It's two terrific, padded hangers in the Courtly Check pattern (how clever, given the title of her blog). I love these!
