Flat Stanley Report
Dear Adam,
We spent a wond erful day at Marine World. Marine World has great amimal
shows. They also added rides a few years ago to get more people to come and
visit. It is a very busy place now, but Flat Stanley still liked the animals the best.
Our favorit is the whale and dolfin show. I usually sit up front in the “Splash
Zone” where we can get wet. However, it was a cool day so nither Flat Stanley nor
I wanted to get wet. We also watched the Tigers play on Tiger Island, and saw a
great Sea Lion show.
I was very hapy to get your letter and to have a chance to show Flat Stanley around
California. We did a lot of fun things together.
We also took a four-hour cruise on San Francisco Bay. Our boat went around
Alcatraz, a famous prisin on an island in the bay that is now owned and run by the
Park Service. We saw where the prisoners of Alcatraz ate, slept and exercised.
They even told us about a famous escape when the prison was still in use. The tour
of Alcatraz was an hour long and we started to get hungry, so we atte crab and
other seafood back at Fisherman’s Wharf.
Flat Stanley wanted to go and see the San Francisco Giants in hopes that we would
see Barry Bonds break Mark McGuire’s record for home runs. Since the Oakland
A’s are my favorite teeam, and their stadium is closer to where we live, we went to
see them instead. We had peanuts and ice cream and watched the A’s collect
another victory.
We also went to the Jelly Belly factory. We got to see how they make Jelly
Belly’s and we even got free samples! Flat Stanley and I loved that! Flat
Stanley’s favorite flavor was watermelin.
I think Flat Stanley is pretty worn out from all of our adventures. I am sending
him back with some brosures so that he can think about what he would like to do
the next time that he comes to visit.
