While I was at my aunt's house in Alameda, I found a bunch of old pictures of my grampa as a younger man and my aunt, uncle, & Dad as kids. I adore old family photos. I have a whole set on my flickr of vintage family photos. I hadn't seen a lot of these pictures, and I'd never seen my grampa looking so handsome and young! The top photo is more like how I've always known him. He's looked the same for like 30 years! In the picture where he's holding a photograph, it's my grandma in the picture. Isn't that so sweet? It's hard to imagine my grandparents my age, but look at how young he is in the last photo!
It's also funny how kids totally resemble their parents as children. I looked just like my Dad in the picture below when I was younger (he's the one to the far left), and my cousins look exactly like my uncle in that picture. Of course my younger brother looks even more like my Dad!
14 musings:
you're in my city today!!
You definitely look like your dad! It's such an adorable resemblance though. And it's definitely weird and sort of surreal when we find younger photos of our parents and grandparents, haha. To think of it, one day you'll probably have children and grandchildren looking back at these photos now and thinking the same thing!

Elizabeth!! You're in Cali! How long will you be there and are you heading down the coast at all? I'm on a Roadie tour with Roadtrip Nation right now and we're up in Spokane, Washington. We'll be heading down the coast of California during the next two and a half weeks. It would be so much fun to meet you if you'll be around!

Oh, I love old family photos! Doesn't it seem like every man was so handsome back in the day? Goodness!
My grandpa plays the harmonica, too!
