Exploring North America one road trip at a time.
When we lived in Ohio, a good part of our field trips were focused around Ohio History. We visited the Ohio State Building, many Ohio Historical sites and local attractions that focused on educating the public regarding local history. What better way to learn than by actually experiencing places of historical significance and hearing about…
It’s time to write up those field trip posts! Field Trip Friday will be back this Friday, December 3rd, but I’ll have it up and ready for link-ups sometime early Thursday evening. Can’t wait to see what you’ve all been up to! You can read the guidelines here or find past Field Trip Friday posts…
When I took my blogging break one of the things I was considering was the future of Field Trip Friday. I love sharing places that we go because field trips are such a huge part of what we do but I wonder if you’re really that interested in reading about them or participating in the…
I was excited to learn that replica’s of the Niña and Pinta would not only be making a stop in Huntsville, Alabama, but that they’d be docking not even 15 minutes from our home. One of our all time favorite field trips was to see the replica of the Santa Maria in downtown Columbus, Ohio….
Remember our trip from last week when I wrote about the first part of our trip to Dzibilchaltun and the House of the Seven Dolls? Turns out that there was quite a bit to see at this amazing historic Mayan site. (hieroglyphs) As fascinating as the ruins were, if you asked my kids what…
I’ve gotten several emails and comments that some of you would like to participate in Field Trip Friday so I just wanted to give you a heads up that I’ll have one up for you to link to this Friday and I’d love you to join me! It’s easy and anyone can join in. If…
This week we thankfully got a bit of reprieve from the hot weather, but unfortunately we had to cancel our outdoor field trip because of thunderstorms. By afternoon the skies had cleared up so the kids couldn’t wait to do something. Though we’ve visited our local botanical garden on several occasions, we’d not ever walked…
This week’s Field Trip Friday is a bit different than it usually is ad that’s because we didn’t go on a trip this week. To be honest, it’s just been too stinking hot here in Alabama. I’d planned to link up an older field trip but instead I decided to give you guys some field…
This week’s edition of Field Trip Friday is another outing that I took sans children on my recent trip to Colorado. I have to tell you that I discovered there is no shortage of historical hot spots in Kansas- particularly along I-70! I was tempted to stop and stretch my legs at the Eisenhower Presidential…
Well, keeping up our pace, the kids and I headed out to explore yet another local attraction, the North Alabama Railroad Museum. This was the second time we had stopped, but the museum is operated by volunteers and may not always be manned. For that reason, I suggest calling ahead before your visit. The museum…
It’s that time again. Have you been on a field trip this week that you’d like to share?This week’s Field Trip Friday is actually from an outing that we took as a family on Father’s Day Weekend. Summer has been met with some incredibly hot temperatures and as hard as I tried to convince my…
Well I have to admit that it was harder to fit in a field trip this week than I thought it would be. Not only has the weather been really hot, but we’ve also had terrible thunderstorms almost daily. Not exactly the type of weather that makes an outdoor field trip seem appealing. This morning…
