6th Stop: Manassas, Virginia. Civil War City

 

After a little meandering on the east coast, Flat Lily finally made another appearance at the beginning of December. On December 8th, Flat Lily sent us photos from Manassas, Virginia. She was exploring this historic city with Everett, Betsy and Calvin.

5th Stop: Holland, Michigan. Surf & Turf

 

On July 31st, we received photos from Flat Lily's time in Holland, Michigan with Sarah, Nate, Corbin & Ollie. They had a great time taking advantage of the beautiful summer weather.

Postcards from the Road: Michigan

On July 18th, Lily received a postcard from Flat Lily and our friends Sarah, Nate, Corbin, and Ollie in Holland, Michigan. Corbin and Lily (and a few more friends Flat Lily will visit along the way) are July 2007 babies. It's hard to believe these kiddos are 6 already!

4th Stop: Chicago, Illinois. Opa!

Flat Lily, Grandpa and Picasso's Dog in Daley Plaza

On July 10th, we received pictures from Flat Lily's time with Grandma and Grandpa B in Chicago. It looks like they were quite busy!

Postcards from the Road: Chicago

This post is a little belated. On June 20, Lily received a postcard from Flat Lily in Chicago. It got a little beaten up during the long postal trip from Chicago to St. Louis. But we can still read it!

3rd Stop: Omaha, Nebraska. Fun on the run.

 On June 10th, pictures arrived from Flat Lily's adventures with Aunt Jenn in Omaha, NE. 386 miles from Minneapolis. It is possible that Flat Lily may have traveled to Omaha on foot.

Postcards from the Road: Minnesota

 Today there was a surprise waiting in the mailbox for Lily when she got home from school.

It was a postcard from Flat Lily!

2nd Stop: Minneapolis, Minnesota. It's cold up there!

 On April 19, Flat Lily checked in at Cousin Charlie's house in Minneapolis, Minnesota. 555 miles from home. Yes, that date is correct. It is mid-April and there is a lot of snow on the ground! Hopefully that contact paper will protect Lily from the harsh, never-ending, Minnesota winter.

1st Stop: St. Louis, Missouri. Home!

Lily's Daisy Girl Scout troop made flat versions of themselves to send on a journey. You can follow the entire troop's travels here.
