Flat Stanley Visits The 'Noke

During this Presidents' Day weekend we went to Roanoke to visit with my family. We had a great time hanging out and watching their new flat panel tv. It was pretty nice. We even watched "Over The Hedge" on "Movies on Demand" in "High Definition". (I may have overused the "quotation marks".)


While we were there, we went to The Star. Roanoke is called "The Star City of the South," because of this giant star on top of one of the mountains. On just a side note, not too long ago, my cousin worked on the electrical components of this star when it wasn't working. So, he is kind of a local hero I guess. :) Back to the story, normally we wouldn't go to the star when it is snowing, cloudy and FREEZING, but we received a Flat Stanley in the mail from one of Andrew's cousins, Hannah. So, now we need to take pictures of Flat Stanley in lots of interesting places so Hannah can make a report on it. If you really want to read interesting facts about the star you can click on the picture below and enlarge it to read the sign. Don't get too excited.


Along with The Star there is an overlook that looks over all of Roanoke. It is actually very pretty and usually more enjoyable in the Spring or Fall when it is a more comfortable temperature. You can't see many of the mountains around because it is snowing in the distance.


This is Flat Stanley enjoying the beautiful views. This is what Flat would look like if he were a girl with a pink skirt on.
