Stanley In Washington D.C.

Well, Stanley had a wonderful time in Washington D.C. He got stuck on the Metro and had to take a bus the rest of the way into Washington. And when he got his picture taken, he couldn't get very close to the objects, so he is a little blurry sometimes, but that's ok.
Well, the first place that Stanley wanted to see was the Air and Space Museum. Talk about a lot of planes!
Is this Uncle Norman's plane, Super Grandpa?
He was so excited to see the space rockets. It was just all so tiring that we had to sit down for a break. Aunt Elizabeth had to take a break too from all the people looking at her when she took pictures of Stanley in front of her. She even heard the word crazy whispered once. Anyway... Next, we headed over to the Museum of Natural History. "Jacob, isn't that a big elephant," says Stanley.
He got his picture taken in front of a dinosaur. Well, in front of it's bones at least.
Whoa, look at those teeth. "I hope he brushes them every night," laughed Stanley.
A Zebra
A Giraffe
A Rhino. "I'm glad he's not coming after me," Stanley squealed.
After the museum, Stanley had his picture taken by the Washington Monument, or what cousin Nathan likes to call the Rocket Ship.
Next, we headed over to the Museum of American History. There Stanley got a chance to see a REALLY old school bus.
And there was an old train too.
"Look at that old car," laughed Stanley.
Next was the best part of the whole trip. Stanley got to see the White House from both sides. He told me that he wants to live there someday.
It was a great trip, and Stanley had a ton of fun. But he misses Jacob. He told Aunt Elizabeth to tell Jacob that he is coming home really soon, and can't wait to see Jacob. But for now, goodbye from Washington D.C.

Stanley Refuses

Stanley refused to get his picture taken by any of these things.
It's headless!

What's Stanley been up to?

Well, he's been enjoying time at school with my 8th grade. He LOVES homework.
He loves showing off my cracked car window to everyone. He finds it fun to watch it grow.
Stanley went with me to the Arlington Street People's Assistance Network. This is Jack, who helped me sort and arrange clothing.
Then we headed off to see the Potomac River. Stanley loved seeing the pretty water.
Next weekend we head to Washington D.C.
