The day after Thanksgiving, Flat Stanley got to visit NASA in Clearlake, Texas.
He learned a lot about the astronauts, and even go to pretend to wear a space suit. He pretended to fly on a rocket ship and walk on the moon.
Flat Stanley went on a tram tour around NASA. It was freezing that day, but it was a great way to get around the huge Space Center. Flat Stanley was amazed to see the actual rockets at the NASA Space Center. They were huge!
Flat Stanley enjoyed the Star Wars exhibit, and liked the R2-D2 that was “flying” this X-wing ship.

Galveston, Texas
Galveston is another old city in Texas and is on the Gulf Coast. In recent years, cruise ships have started using Galveston as a port which has given the city a new life due to the cash input from tourists. There is a big Mardi Gras celebration each year and at Christmas there are carolers and festivities during Dickens on the Strand ( a historic area of Galveston now filled with shops). Flat Stanley went to see where Collin's boo! and his Pop are building an house on the beach.
