Just for fun I compiled a list of the places we'd visited. It could be useful for people in the planning stages, wondering where to go or what to see, particularly if they only have a short amount of time. Just listing the places we've been brings back so many great memories it makes me want to do it again. I'm sure I've left out several places. I went through my planner to get the information, which was often filled in after the fact. I'm trying to do better with that, but in the meantime, it's a pretty incredible list. Take a look...

 Our last stop. The end of the road. We've been to Chattanooga before, but we really like it, so we decided to stop on the way home. We made it back in Tennessee, finishing our trip just in time to celebrate Christmas with the rest of the family. We had planned to "See Rock City " and the Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park. Unfortunately, it rained the whole time we were there. So, we exchanged those outdoor activities for indoor ones, including the Creative Discovery Museum, which is Chattanooga's children's museum. The kids beg to go to the children's museums and this one was really fun. A great way to spend a rainy day. We also explored the Tennessee Aquarium, one of the best in the country. There are 2 buildings, the River Journey and the Ocean Journey, which divide the wildlife into freshwater and saltwater animals. When you enter you ride a very long escalator to the top of the "ecosystem". Then you begin making your way from the surface deeper and deeper into the water. As you spiral down the fish get bigger, more colorful, and stranger. It's really impressive. The kids even got to feed stingrays!
Packing up to leave was bittersweet. We were anxious to see our friends and family, but knew that our once-in-a-lifetime journey was coming to a close. Beyond that, we had no idea what we were going to do next. Three months later, we still have no idea and no job. I remain certain that God has a plan for us. He has given us some things to think about, but for now...it's one day at a time.

In March of 2008 our family of four (plus 1 dog) hit the road for a yearlong tour of the United States
focusing on American History. This website is our journal from start to finish. Here we have passed along how we homeschooled on the road and
specifically what we learned about American history. We've also provided some lesson plans and activity suggestions
so that you can learn too! 
We're excited to be able to partner
