The hometown tour: St. Louis, Missouri. Our month with Flat Ashley!

After seeing pictures of all of Flat Lily's adventures, the kids were excited to have our own visitor. Flat Ashley came to St. Louis all the way from Torrance, California- 1,841 miles away! Over the
span of a month, we spent seven days taking Flat Ashley on a mini-tour of our fair city.

14th Stop: Paris, France. Fille Française

 

On March 22 we received pictures from Flat Lily and another French friend, Claire. Like Cyril, Claire is also a former intern from Lily's French school in St. Louis. Claire took Flat Lily on a tour of the City of Light, Paris!

12th & 13th Stops: Perpignan, France & Rome, Italy. Roman Holiday

Flat Lily's Tour de Europe is in full swing! On February 19th we received pictures from Lily's travels with our French friend Cyril. We know Cyril from his time as an intern at Lily's school here in St. Louis. He lives in Perpignan, in the south of France, and was excited to have Flat Lily for a visit.

11th Stop: Tel Aviv, Israel. Hanging in the Holy Land

Flat Lily at the Old City of Yaffo.

 Flat Lily has gone international! On November 16th we received pictures from Lily's first overseas stop: Tel Aviv, Israel. Flat Lily spent her time in Israel with cousins that we found through the miracle of social media. Our Israeli host, Maya, is the great-great-granddaughter of Chaia, the sister of Lily's great-great grandmother Freida.

10th Stop: Penobscot, Maine. Moose Country

 

On July 17th we received another picture from Flat Lily. She flew from New Mexico all the way to Penobscot, Maine. Penobscot is located in the northeast corner of the United States along the Bagaduce River.  The town of Penobscot takes its name, which means "rocky part" or "descending ledges", from the Penobscot Native American tribe.

Thanks for showing Flat Lily around your beautiful town, Linda! Where will Flat Lily go next?

9th Stop: Los Ranchos de Albuquerque, New Mexico. Flagpole Fiesta

Flat Lily checked in again on July 7th, this time from the Land of Enchantment- New Mexico. Flat Lily visited with our cousins, Joy and Michael, in the southwest village of Los Ranchos de Albuquerque.

7th & 8th Stops: Galveston & Pilot Point, Texas. Texas Two Step

We had contact from Flat Lily! And she has been in Texas. On June 7 we received the final pictures from Flat Lily's time in the Lone Star State. Flat Lily was busy, hanging out with Great Aunt Amy and Great Aunt Marla.
