Alaska, Flat Stanley, Illinois, New York City, Rockefeller Center, Saint Petersburg, United States

Hi!  I’m Flat Stanley!  One day a billboard flattened me (don’t worry, there’s a happy ending) so I’m able to travel the good ol United States through snail mail.  Thanks to my friends Bud, Mark, Tom, Gwen, Mary Katherine, Rowdy, Sarah, and Steve, here are pictures from my travels.

Special thanks to blogger Slim Paley for helping make the pictures look extra special!

I hit the road by crossing a bridge in Burlington, Iowa. Hang on!

I sailed by Six Flags in Illinois...

I hummed "Hail to the Chief" as I visited President Ronald Reagan's home town...

The next day I got stuck behind this windmill blade by Lafayette, Indiana...

I felt like swimming so I mailed myself to St. Petersburg, Florida. 

I hung out with Stevie Ray Vaughn in Austin, Texas! 

Then I flew to Los Angeles to talk about my travels on the radio with Christian Bladt and Will Sterling!

Then I headed over to Illinois to visit my friend Ellie at Lincoln's Tomb.

Here I am in Alaska getting ready to ride in the Iditarod!

Then I hit the Big Apple in front of Radio Music City Hall in New York City. 

 

Then I hopped over to Rockefeller Centerto go ice skating. 

 

With ice skates in hand I visited Mark in Ohio at a hockey game... 

Then hung out with hockey star Rick Nash! 

Here I am in a windstorm with some horses. I almost blew away! 

Then I sneaked into the stadium where the Kansas City Royals and Chiefs play. 

Almost there! 

This is as close I got. 

By night-time I got to St. Louis to visit the arch... 

The next day I visited a gift shop called "Ozarkland!" to bring back souvenirs for all my friends!

Finally, I jammed with a band called Two 4 the Road. Rock on!
