Google Earth

Last week we downloaded the free Google Earth program from http://earth.google.com/



From their site:

Google Earth combines the power of Google Search with satellite imagery, maps, terrain and 3D buildings to put the world's geographic information at your fingertips.

• 
  Fly to your house. Just type in an address, press Search, and you’ll zoom right in.


• 
  Search for schools, parks, restaurants, and hotels. Get driving directions.


• 
  Tilt and rotate the view to see 3D terrain and buildings, or look up to explore the sky


• 
  Save and share your searches and favorites.

We have "visited" so many places around the world, and space! We've seen the Grand Canyon, the pyramids in Egypt, Stonehenge, and of course we checked out Hawaii, as Georgia is still learning about it. It's pretty nifty! It really makes the world feel that much smaller!

Hawaiian Islands

We actually zoomed in a lot closer and saw a volcano, beaches, houses, etc
