If you were a child during the 80s, you probably have a special place in your heart for the TV show, Fraggle Rock. Who could forget Mokey, Wembley, Boober, Red, Gobo and Gobo’s adventurous Uncle Traveling Matt. I’ve had a Traveling Matt doll since I was little and decided to allow him to stretch his legs during a trip to Italy last month.
I knew I had to bring him along after my experience with Nandy the Uglydoll Goes to England. Wes and I are expecting our first child, a daughter, in September, so I plan to put Traveling Matt and photos of his journey in her nursery.
