Remember Photo Booths?

 Check out this picture of Junior and I.  We look so young.  This picture was taken in 1995 on one of our first dates.  It's crazy to think that it's been 15 years since then.  Man, I was really rocking those bangs and huge eyeglasses!  It wasn't long after this that Junior grew his beard, and he hasn't shaved it off since.

We took this picture in one of those photo booths at our local mall.  You know the ones, where you jump in and close the curtain, feed it $2, and it snaps a picture. It wasn't one of the ones that gives you a strip of different poses.  This one gave you one Polaroid.

I haven't seen a photo booth in a long time, and got to wondering if they were still around.  I couldn't find one in any local malls, but I did find the traveling photo booth .  Unfortunately, they do not have a vendor anywhere in my area, but if you live where they do have one, imagine all the fun you could have.   I bet that if you rented one of these for your wedding day, your guests would have a ball.  Sweet 16 parties and proms would be great events, too.  I think anywhere teens are, one of these photo booths would be a hit. 

I wish I could find one to rent for Kasi's birthday.  Thirteen year old girls would LOVE this.
