There is no other place I’d rather be than teaching and learning with my girls. The freedom that comes with homeschooling allows me to pursue opportunities to travel and learn as much as we can while experiencing things first hand! Welcome to our blog about planning our next big adventure, the Lewis and Clark Trail! The three of us girls plan on a 40+ day adventure of learning all we can about the biology, botany, geography, geology, economics, and civics (and more) associated with the Corps of Discovery journey of 1804-1806. Join us on our journey!

When Would We Go?

The second question I asked myself was, when would be a good time to go?

Tentative plans would be for April-June 2015.  I think traveling in the spring would be the best time, to avoid crowds on summer vacations, also to avoid weather extremes.  

I will need to wait till the girls are a bit older (kids in public schools study Lewis and Clark in the 4th grade), but I don't want to wait too long.  They will be equivalent in age to first and third grades in 2015.  Still a little young, but I think they will be able to appreciate the journey.  They are accustomed to traveling already, and the school lessons leading up to the trip will get us prepared.
