Mug shots: Starbucks 'Been There Series' Virginia

We have a number of Starbucks mugs from our trips around the country and abroad. Here is a rather forgotten one. I say forgotten because we couldn't remember how we got this mug. Did we buy it or was it gifted to us as a 'pasalubong'? The reason for this is that both of us haven't been to this part of the US. We do have a very close friend who studied in Virginia Tech and who was there a few years ago to attend a workshop. Perhaps this was a pasalubong or souvenir from that trip?

The Starbucks Virgina mug has many items on the design. You see a crab, a racehorse and a ship as well as a beach umbrella.

The Pentagon is there and so are a certain specie of bird, deer and what appears as a peanut.

There's a stagecoach, a lake, a cup and a building labeled Monticello. There's also a slogan "Live Passionately".


Recently, I've learned that there are many sellers of Starbucks mugs online. That means you can easily collect these mugs and others as if you traveled to the cities and countries. That certainly takes away the element of travel, which to me totally ruins a collection. It's called 'Been There' for a reason.
