A web log of our homeschooling adventures.

Darwin's "Voyage of the Beagle" and Sargent's travels through Europe and North America are the inspirations for part of how we homeschool. The idea is to have the kids experience and learn about the world through travel while studying the natural sciences, art, and human history. To make the latter more involving and fun, I also have them play historical board games and paint historical miniatures.

MESA VERDE

We stayed a day at Mesa Verde in Colorado to see the Anasazi ruins. We planned a two day visit, but the kids got very sick and we had to cut that short. The famous Cliff Palace seen here is quite a bit smaller in reality than it appears in photos. Anasazi dwellings from small to large are to be found on the cliffs throughout the surrounding canyons. Like so many of the locales of the Colorado Plateau, the landscape around here is absolutely spectacular.
