The elegance...
The views...
The peaks into the past...
The reality checks (Battle of Fort Necessity)...
The al fresco snacking opportunitues...
And the dollhouse... oh the dollhouse. I didn't think I was ever going to be able to pull this boy away from the dollhouse in the kid's section of the museum.
And oh the conversations this little visit inspired. About history and war and how things were done in "old timey days", and slavery, and farming, and geography and... the list goes on. Outings like this are my very favorite part about homeschooling. On the way out, we sprung for an annual pass. Because afterall they're doing chocolate making demonstrations next month, and mama will find SOME way to make that "educational". :)

Awesome! That looks like my kind of place to visit - and I so agree about the homeschooling opportunities- you must just love this part of your life Cindy. And that boy of yours - the dimples! You must post about the chocolate workshops - I'm looking forward to hearing about them.
Awesome 'field trip'! We love day trips, weekend trips, all trips really. That's what I'm looking forward to the most about home-schooling.
I've always wanted to go there but never have. I'll have to put it on my "list". I'm glad you had a good time! I'll bet it was completely fascinating!
What a great field trip. Someday we'll visit too.
Waht a beautiful place, I think I've been there before when I was very young; don't remember much at all.
I was just talking to my youngest about your family living on a sailboat. She found this quite fascinating!
