Spot - Spot T. Giraffe

Spot T. Giraffe I originally hail from the savannahs of Africa, but moved to the U.S.A. for employment opportunities a few years ago. But I feel that I've been working too hard, and have only seen the inside of my office building. Therefore I've decided to take vacation, and hope to travel and see the sites of this fine country. Stay tuned for my adventures...

Continued Reflections North America » United States » Washington DC By Spot June 8th 2007 Spot T. Giraffe Hi, friends! These last few DC pictures document my visit to three major war memorials on the Mall. Obviously, not many opportunities for levity with these. I've commented before on the relationship between the d [View Full Entry]

Entering the Monument...
Such an interesting idea--a monument you actually walk through!
I don't think that I'd ever say this, but I'm really starting to miss standing guard by the door at work. And I'm really beginning to miss my chums from the office. I wonder...is it time for me to wrap up this vacation? It's so hard to make a decision like that though... Regardless, don't fear--I've still got plenty of pictures left to post. In keeping with the theme, please enjoy these from my visit to the FDR Memorial in DC--truly a unique and inspirational monument. Hope you enjoy! [View Full Entry]

I've been so impressed with how friendly people in Maryland have been me as a foreigner! Here I'm getting tips to maximize the fun of my tour in downtown Annapolis...
It seems in my haste to show my exciting pictures from our Nation's capital, I forgot quite a few (18) other pictures from my Annapolis trip! My bad! So before moving on, let's catch up... [View Full Entry]

I keep hearing how horrible parking is in DC, so I decided to be adventurous (not to mention environmentally conscious) and take the train into the city!
Ah, I've been so bad about posting new entries lately...but it's because I've been sooooo sad ever since I found out that Diane was leaving the office and wouldn't be there when I come back! :( I want to thank Jen and Jake for agreeing to deliver my "parting gift" to Diane--I sure hope she likes it and it will at least help to remember me! But alas, I can't mope around all the time, and it's so gorgeous outside that I decided to take another trip...down to our nation's capital! [View Full Entry]

As promised, here is the second half of my trip to the Naval Academy...please forgive the delay, but remember, sometimes it's tough for me to find a computer while I'm out having my adventures! [View Full Entry]

Here I am, about to begin my adventure for the day!
Well, I must sincerely apologize for not posting anything recently... but let me tell you, I've been having the time of my life! I've gotten all over the area, seen some wonderful sights and met some fantastic friends! I should have a whole bunch of posts now, and to start things off, I wanted to share my first batch of pictures from my visit to the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis. Enjoy! [View Full Entry]

Well, unfortunately, the weather this past weekend was somewhat dreary, so I didn't get a chance to go out and have any new adventures. However, the delay gave me a chance to clean out my camera's memory and I found 13 pictures from my trip to the Inner Harbor that I forgot to post. So let's re-live that adventure and hope the weather is fantastic this weekend! (Forecast says partly sunny and temps in the 80's!) [View Full Entry]

Here I am ready to get tickets, filled with anticipation at seeing my first baseball game...
Well, I had heard some rumors that the office was trying to have a get-together at a Bowie Baysox game and that I was welcome to come along. I thought that was a fantastic idea--there was only one problem: No one ever let me know when the game was. Since I had already planned to go shopping Saturday, I crossed my hooves and hoped that Sunday was the right day. Alas, I was wrong--but that didn't stop me from having a great time! Just check out these 18 pictures--my biggest post yet! [View Full Entry]

Well, I've been having so much fun on vacation that I admit I've been remiss in updating the blog. But after you see these eleven pictures, how can you blame me? I've been playing with my new toys and wearing my new clothes out all over the place! I'm sure glad I was able to cash in some of that comp time for overtime--now I've got plenty of spending money! What should I spend it on next? [View Full Entry]
