The Herrmanns took Flat Stanley to many awesome sights in New York!
They went to Madison Square Garden!
They went shopping & even bought an I Love NY tshirt for a special member of Team Lewis!
Stanley was even lucky enough to catch the Steelers-Giants game! He was glad to know that Bridget had a Terrible Towel!!
Stanley got to tour the city underground, travelling along the subway system!
Flat Stanley went for a run with Bridget around Central Park! He was exhausted! Bridget is pretty amazing to be able to run about 6.1 miles! That is about one-quarter of what she was going to run for the marathon!
Stanley was lucky enough to make it to 42nd Street!
The Herrmanns even took Flat Stanley to Times Square! He thought it was absolutely gorgeous!! He is considering going back for New Years Eve to see the ball drop!
The team Bridget was a part of for the ING NYC Marathon was called "Team Boomer". The team was led by Boomer Esaison. Boomer was a former NFL star quarterback. He played for the Bengals, the Cardinals, and the Jets. Team Boomer fundraised money for fighting Cystic Fibrosis. Bridget raised $3,000 for her team! Boomer was holding a prerace dinner with the team. He still had the dinner although the race was cancelled. Boomer was kind enough to take his picture with Bridget and Flat Stanley!
Sadly, all good things must come to an end. Mrs. Herrmann took Stanley back to Pittsburgh with her for his first plane ride. He rode on a 747 from LaGuardia Airport to Washington DC.
Thank you, Herrmann ladies for showing Stanley such an amazing time! Team Lewis loved learning about your trip! We also appreciated the glass paper weight with the Statue of Liberty etched in it! Beautiful!
