Flat Stanley's Trip Around Britain

Two weeks ago, my mom and her friend Mary came to visit me in England.  They took Flat Stanley with them to Bath, Windsor, London, Edinburgh, and York.  He visited a lot of places and here are his pictures!

The first place we went was Bath, in Southwestern England.  It is famous for its Roman Baths, where the water is naturally heated and is supposed to be good for you.  Here is Flat Stanley with some of the Roman women!

Here he is by the largest Roman Bath.

We had a full English breakfast every day!  It included tea, eggs, sausage, tomatoes, mushrooms, bacon,  beans, and toast.  Yum!

Next, we went to Windsor Castle, where the Queen of England lives on the weekends.

Here he is with her famous guards.  They don't move much!

Mom, Mary, and Flat Stanley went to London next.  Here he is on a double decker tour bus.

They went to the Tower of London, where the Crown Jewels are kept.  Flat Stanley is with a Yeoman Warder, also known as a Beefeater.  They all live within the Tower of London.

The building where the Crown Jewels are kept.

This is in beautiful Kensington Gardens.

In front of Kensington Palace, where Princess Diana and Prince Charles once lived.

Can you see Flat Stanley?  He's in front of the British Museum, where the Rosetta Stone and many other  important historical works and artifacts are kept.

This is in the Room of Enlightenment at the British Museum.

This is Queen Elizabeth's official residence, Buckingham Palace.

These are the beautiful gates in front of Buckingham Palace.

Here is Flat Stanley in front of Westminster Abbey, a very beautiful church in London.

Flat Stanley even went to Hogwarts!  Here he is at Platform 9 3/4, just like Harry Potter!


Next, Mom, Mary, and Flat Stanley went to Edinburgh, Scotland.  Here he is at the very big Edinburgh Castle.

Here is Flat Stanley in front of the Royal Scottish Dragoons Museum, within in the Edinburgh Castle.

Flat Stanley even got to see a bagpiper in a kilt, on the Royal Mile in Edinburgh!

Finally, Flat Stanley met a Viking in York, England!  He wasn't vicious at all!

Flat Stanley greatly enjoyed his trip around England.  He's going on another trip very soon!
