Flat Stanley hangs out with people his own size.

Flat Stanley Was a Little Reckless!

Flat Stanley became a little disobedient in the Silver Garden!

Stamp Hunt

There is a small scavenger hunt in the conservatory. You have to find stations around the conservatory that have stamps that you can place in a book. Flat Stanley thought it would be great to fill one out for my nephew. After getting a little help from Flat Stanley, mom was able to take care of the stamps on her own.

Conservatory Flowers

Conservatory entrance and flowers. Palm Room. Flat Stanley really liked the orchids. Flat Stanley pretends he is Jack & The Beanstalk while climbing these sweet pea vines. Cascade Garden.

Longwood Gardens

On Stanley's last day we took him to the historic Longwood Gardens. It is a former estate of the DuPont family in Pennsylvania. Here are several pictures from the garden. Main Fountain Garden. The recently renovated Conservatory.

Crabby!

Hometown Girl! A great store of Baltimore related items and even an old fashioned ice cream shop in the back! I've been called a crab head before but this is a little ridiculous!
Meanwhile, Derek battles a crab claw we found in the store.

Shoes & Chocolate

Flat Stanley and Mom agreed that fine chocolates and fine shoes were a great combination! Ma Petite Shoe, in Hampden, Hon!

Flat Stanley Squared

It's like looking in a mirror! Our friends, Brian and Nicole received a Flat Stanley too. So we had Flat Stanley² at brunch.

Sunday Brunch

Sunday brunch at the Golden West Cafe in Hampden. Great food but service can be spectacular or absolutely horrible. Gotta take what you can for the green chilies! Monday night's for half price burger night is also a big hit with the locals.
