March 23 Flat Stanley Visits SeattleFlat Stanley came to Seattle this weekend for a visit. He didn't have much time, so we had to hop in the car and go! Who's got the car keys? First stop - lunch! Stanley loves Sushi! Seattle (actually, Redmond) is the home of Microsoft, where Andrew's uncle Scott works. Stanley gets his picture taken in front of the Microsoft sign, like all of the other tourists. Jenny took Stanley to the buildings where xboxes are made. Stanley had to stop and play for a few minutes! While he was there, he ran into Master Chief himself! Then is was off to downtown Seattle. Stanley stopped at the famous Pike's Place Market, where they have the very first Starbucks coffee shop! Right next to Pike's Place Market is an alley where thousands of people have stuck their gum to the wall. It's called the 'gum wall'. Stanley thought that it was a little gross, but he got his appetite back quickly. Stanley walked down to the water. It was a nice day, so he decided to stop and feed the seagulls outside of Ivar's. Seattle has beautiful scenery. There goes a ferry boat! Stanley stopped by the Seattle Art Museum, and met the 'Hammering Man' statue. Then it was on to Gasworks Park, where it was very windy. One more stop by Kerry Park to see the Space Needle and the Seattle Skyline up close, and then Stanley just had one more stop to make He had to visit the troll that lives under the bridge in Fremont! Stanley had a very busy (but fun) day. Soon, he'll be on his way to visit more friends, before traveling back to Chicago. |
