Meet Vacation Mouse

Once upon a time, long long ago, I decided that it would be fun for our family to have a travel mascot join our trips. I’m not sure where I got the idea originally but I’m sure I saw it somewhere and thought it was a great idea. I chose Vacation Mouse (more commonly known as the If You Give a Mouse a Cookie mouse) from our collection of stuffed animals and off he went on his first trip.
Where it all began… Here we are ready to begin Big Trip 1.When the kids were young they would gladly carry him and hold him for pictures. Now that they are teenagers, they prefer to pose the mouse in pictures by himself or with the dog.

Just taking a walk on the beach in Michigan…Unfortunately, we have almost forgotten to bring Vacation Mouse with us several times. Even once he’s in the car, we sometimes forget to take him out to visit our various stops. One solution is to let him ride on the gear shift so he is close at hand whenever we stop. Sometimes he hogs the a/c though and I really wish he wouldn’t.
If Vacation Mouse rides here, we are less likely to leave him in the car when we stop somewhere interesting. Unfortunately, he likes to hog the a/c vent!
Vacation Mouse has become a part of the family and has earned his own photo tag in my photo organizing software. I’ve even had other extended family members comment if they haven’t seen him represented in our vacation photos, asking where he is.
Here’s a collage of some favorite photos of our family’s travel mascot.

Travel Mascot Inspiration
My crazy idea to add Vacation Mouse to our travels inspired my friend Allie to do the same. Her family’s travel mascot is named Roadie. They met at Barnes and Noble in Rhode Island about 5 years ago and were an instant match. Roadie joined the family for their trip to Boston and they have been travelling together ever since. Here are a couple favorite photos from Roadie’s family.
A favorite snack of Roadie’s – blue milk! Roadie says that camping and fresh air are good for the soul!Tips for choosing your travel mascot
- Choose a small mascot. A plastic toy or small stuffed animal usually work best because they fit easily in your luggage or purse and can be posed on their own without blowing away. Being washable may also come in handy.
- Choose a colorful mascot to help them stand out in photos (You can see that I did not meet this requirement!)
- Give your mascot a name and discover their personality. (Vacation Mouse is very recognizable as the Give a Mouse a Cookie mouse and gets much attention from fellow travelers who recognize him.) Maybe your mascot wants his own Instagram page?
- Take lots of pictures! Include the mascot in group photos as well in photos alone.
- Have fun!
Famous Travel Mascots
Seaman Jr., is a travel mascot named after the Newfoundland, Seaman, who went with Lewis and Clark to map the Louisiana Purchase in the 1800s. He is currently on a mission to the International Space Station on SpaceX CRS-15 to help celebrate NASA’s 60th anniversary and the National Trail System’s 50th anniversary. Several stuffed pals are concurrently traveling along the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail. Check out the various journeys and pictures of Seaman Jr (and friends) at the NPS Newfie News blog.
Like all famous travel mascots, Seaman Jr. posed for some official photos before his mission.

Most recently, Seaman Jr. was featured on the back cover of the Kennedy Space Center’s July 2018 issue of SPACEPORT Magazine. Soon more reports of his adventures will be posted by NASA and NPS on a travel blog. In the meantime, feel free to check out the press release for more information about his trip.
I, for one, can’t wait to read more about his important mission to help survey and photograph sections of the 3,700-mile long Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail from space!
I think Vacation Mouse is feeling a little jealous of Seaman Jr’s exciting adventures. After all, he has been to the Missouri River Basin Lewis and Clark Visitor Center and he’s been to the US Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, AL (which were both fun), but he hasn’t been to space!

1. Emily - 2 stars - I was really excited to check out the mascot store in my area, but I left feeling disappointed. The store had a limited selection of costumes and most of them were outdated or in poor condition. The prices were also quite high considering the quality of the products. The customer service was lacking as well, with staff members seeming disinterested in helping customers. Overall, I would not recommend this store if you're looking for a good mascot costume shopping experience.

The costumes available were not of good quality and the prices were exorbitant. The staff seemed unhelpful and unengaged, making the whole experience even worse.
