It has always been a dream of mine to travel the Lewis and Clark Trail. This past summer, we had a free day on our vacation in Nehalem Bay, Oregon and decided to visit Ft. Clatsop and the Lewis and Clark National Historic Park. Once there, I knew that we would have to visit the whole trail and come back to this beautiful location. I even picked up some lesson planning guides at the visitor center. I began working out the details in my mind.
With the freedom that comes with homeschooling, I am very excited to pursue the opportunity to travel with the girls and learn as much as we can while experiencing things first hand. The experiences of being in a place and really taking time to reflect and enjoy the area, goes so much further in our way of thinking and learning. There is no other place I’d rather be than teaching and learning with the girls.
The following are some questions that I’ll begin with.
- How long would it take?
- When would we go?
- What kind of lesson plans would I need/want to prepare?
- Would I be able to travel the whole way, just me and the kids?
- How will we travel?
- How much would it cost?
- How would I be able to save enough money?
I've thought through these questions, and I don’t have all the answers yet.
There are so many things to think about. I love the planning stages of a trip. The only problem is beginning the planning over two years in advance. It is hard to WAIT! I don’t know how often I’ll post on this topic. Planning for me comes in waves. If you have any suggestions on sponsorship or grant funding, or just want to help out, let me know!
