Gabe and Wally visited the Taubman Art Museum during his stay. Here's what Wally had to say about this unique building:
Hi! I’m Wally! My friend, Gabe, took me on an adventure today. I went downtown Roanoke, Virginia, and I had a blast! He took me to the Taubman Art Museum. It was closed, so we could not go inside, but we walked the grounds. The architecture was amazing! It contains lots of weird shapes in all sizes. It looks like something from Star Wars! On the way back to the car, we walked past many stores and restaurants. Many delicious smells filled the air.
Wally joined Macy for his next adventure!
Hi, it's Wally. I am here in Roanoke, Virginia. Boy, am I having fun! Today I got to go to horseback riding at a barn called Centura. While there, I got to canter and jump on a horse named Flash. Although it was freezing cold, I had a blast! I can't wait to see what fun opportunity is coming next.
See you soon,
Wally Mammoth

Hi! I'm Wally. Today, February 18, 2010, I spent the day with a new friend, Bryce. He and his family treated me to a wonderful meal at a restaraunt called The Roanoker. The have the BEST Pancakes and their biscuits are out of this world! I'm very glad I got to meet a new friend in Roanoke, good thing I wore my thick fur, as you can tell by the snow on the ground-it was COLD!
We chose to go to the fire station because it was a very interesting place to go and the fire trucks were big compared to Wally. Also the firemen were not in their uniforms. They were in their in t-shrits and shorts because they were working out when I and Wally got there. Plus the fire station was a small one. We met a fire man named John.He was nice enough to let us take a picture in front or standing on it. As Wally and I was leaving more firemen in t-shirts and shorts were walking along the fire trucks. I said hi to all of them and they said hi back to Wally and I. Wally said hi too. Then Wally and I went to the car and drove back home.
Wally seems like he had a great time in Roanoke.You were wonderful hosts and he learned a lot about your city. It is so much fun to see how our towns are alike and different. I'm curious. How large is Roanoke? How many people live there? In what industries do many of the people there work?

ReplyDeleteWOW!!!! I wish I could go there.I thought taking Wally was a cool idea,because my dad's a firefighter. Where's your favorite place to go for fun?
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you put an art museaum on the page. I love art so I though it was pretty cool. I liked the Wally's Roanoke Adventure. It is too bad that the art mmuseaum is closed because I wanted to here about the inside.
ReplyDeleteWill here from PA, the fire station, by golly thats really cool. Fire stations are very important, and I think that was a great place to take Wally. We don't get many fires around us. Do you get a lot of fires from where you are? What are the most important job around you?
ReplyDelete(P.S. say hi to Wally for me. :-)
My friend's dog is named Flash.I hope Wally had fun on his adventures!
ReplyDeleteBryce, do you have any traditional foods that your state or family eat? If so what?
