No homeschool hands-on history vacation can beat Boston! Along with Washington, D.C. and Colonial Williamsburg, visiting Boston was a must-do with our older kids. Since we had flown into New York City and driven to Cape Cod, we decided to fly out of Boston and spend a few days immersed in early American history. To get the…
We had a delightful three days in that charming New England area known as Cape Cod, following five days in New York City. It was my first visit to Cape Cod and I loved it. It is a destination for all ages. So what do you do with kids in Cape Cod? Anything and everything! …
This summer we did New York City again! It was part of a larger East Coast vacation. Since we did the Big Apple with our children twice before (you can read about those trips here), many of the standard tourists spots had been covered. Plus, our girls are 12 and 15 now, so they are…
The dolls and I have been doing overnight trips to Naples, Florida, for 13 years. We tag along on hubby’s work trips. It has been a haven of rest for me for years. I think we have done everything worth doing there. For sure we have done everything free! We have annoyed countless clerks with…
Since we evacuated (that is, hopped in the car and drove north for two days) when it looked like a category 5 Irma was heading straight for us, I have road trip activities on my mind. If you have read my blog for any length of time, you’ve probably figured out that I am not…
We just returned from a glorious weekend in the Florida Keys. Just my husband and I. It came on the heels of a big production of Beauty & the Beast that my children were involved in. It was sandwiched between that and their dance recital, co-op final exams and reaching that magic full term window…
I have one more park to write about. I saved it for last because it is in such a state of renovation right now that unless you are a Star Wars fan, there is no point in visiting at the moment. But I am a Star Wars fan. So are my husband and kids. That makes…
Animal Kingdom has a terrific mix of fun and science education. We never miss an opportunity to ride the exciting rollercoaster featuring the legend of the Yeti – Expedition Everest or the white water rafting adventure Kali River Rapids! Beware, someone in your boat will get wet! But do not let that stop you. They…
Is there educational value to be found in the Happiest Place on Earth? Sure there is! We can school anywhere! Since we have had annual passes several times, we know a little bit about homeschooling through the four Orlando parks. Let’s start with the enduring classic. The Magic Kingdom! Disney loves to promote Walt’s personal…
Here is a must do for history enthusiasts: Colonial Williamsburg. This is a place to learn American history, hands on. Costumed guides and history re-enactors roam the streets and fill the exhibits and museums. It is like a very fun time warp back to the Revolutionary War – but with modern bathrooms! Our dolls enjoyed…
