The first Flat E trip

E from the left coast sent a Flat E to me so that it could travel the world and report back to her class on those travels. So traveling we went. Below is a picture of Flat E getting ready for our road trip by hanging out at my car. She is waiting to leave on a 900 mile round trip driving from Greensboro, NC to Baltimore, MD.


No matter who you are, it is important to buckle your seat-belt!



Our first stop was at the University of NC to see my cousin A. We had breakfast but did not go onto the campus.



The next stop was some business that D had to do in Raleigh, NC. All Flat E saw was the outside of some industrial building, so there was nothing to photograph.

After that, D and Flat E stopped to see cousin C at the School for Science and Math. We had a great lunch and we got to take some pictures.





As you saw in another post, Flat E and I got to see our cousin ME outside of Washington, DC. Unfortunately it was late and too dark to go see any of the sights, but man are there a lot of cars in Washington, DC.

But a really cool thing happened, Flat E got a bead of her own at the Hotel.


The next day, we visited the Inner Harbor in Baltimore, Maryland. Many roads are called Francis Scott Key after the guy who wrote the Star Spangled Banner, our National Anthem.



We got to see a big, huge coast Gard Ship. It was 200 feet long.



Here is a picture of Flat E and the harbor



And this is a sailing ship docked at the Inner Harbor. It was huge with all that rope!



At Flat E and I got to see a real submarine docked. It was fierce looking. One of the employees was nice to take the picture.



And here are a couple more views of the Harbor.





It was a fun place to go. Flat E and I are going off to the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia next week.
