I've always wanted to get down to Colonial Williamsburg. SSQ was talking about taking the kids to DC for a few days; do the Smithsonian thing, etc. But with the remodel fixing to gear up, I'm not sure if we're going to be able to do it this year, and Joseph is going back to school next year. He's going to the high school our older boys attended; it's an excellent school. Clare is gonna stay home though for her last two years. She'll be starting some courses at a local college next year.

Our local homeschool association has wonderful field trips. I'm sure y'all have a good one there, too.

We haven't gotten involved with the homeschool association yet. But wife is thinking she'll go to the state homeschool convention.

When I was in the seventh grade, I flew alone to North Carolina to visit a preschool buddy of mine. My parents and baby brother flew in a week later (dad rented a Bonanza) to pick me up and we flew to Fredericksburg to visit dad's first cousins. One lived in Williamsburg, and the other two in Fredericksburg. We did the Colonial thing. It was incredible! While we were there, we borrowed one of the cousins' cars and drove to DC. We were gonna spend the day at the Smithsonian. Umm, well, we spent the day at the Air and Space Museum... Had to go back the next day to see the memorials, the White House, and Congress. I never did get to see the Museum of Natural History. That one is a must for the next time I get over that way.
