Flat Stanley.....

It's time again for another road trip - this will be the longest of the season as we pass through KC, Texas, and Detroit. Travel is a necessary part of the job here and is made easier with our ability to travel with the team.

On our last trip, we added another member to the crew. His name is Flat Stanley. He is the sort of guy that packs lightly and travels very easily - like in my briefcase! I was asked to take this cutout on the road as part of a class project, and place him in various situations or locations as we traveled. The Flat Stanley Project is international and was started in 1995 in London, Ontario by a 3rd grade teacher. The object was to create a journal using this character that you would create and recount his travels over a period of days. All the pictures can then be shared with the class to see where their "Stanley" has gone.

So here he is....traveling through the Midwest with me and taking some pretty snappy shots. Flat Stanely had to return to the classroom, but it was fun having him with us for the trip and as you can see, he was a help as well!
