*Although this post is about home vegetable gardening, you’ll notice some of the pictures are from a field day class my children and I took from the University of Kentucky School of Agriculture. I wanted to encourage you that even those of us who have been gardening for years have room for growth. Your local…
April and May were two of the busiest months I think I’ve ever had! Here are just a few of the things that kept me busy… (This isn’t even the half of it!)
Every once in a while, blogging has nice perks. As a blogger in the Greater Cincinnati area, my children and I were invited to tour the traveling exhibit, Cleopatra: The Search for the Last Queen of Egypt, at the Cincinnati Museum Center. We just so happened to be finishing up Ancient Greek history and moving…
Another field trip bites the dust. More than a simple field trip, though, this one was life changing! The National Missionary Convention was held this past weekend in Lexington, and because our church registered, we were able to attend for free. You know me and field trips, I wasn’t about to pass up a free…
We love the State Fair! This year was our first time being more than spectators and we had a busy, but exciting blast. The big kids showed goats two nights in a row, which left two days full of exploring all the sights and sounds. Some kind friends hauled our two goats to the fair…
Our last night of hotel life in Virginia led us to Charlottesville, home to Monticello – Thomas Jefferson’s homestead. We got into town late and were led by our hotel clerk to Charlottesville’s historical downtown mall for dinner. We ate outdoors and enjoyed their weekly Friday night music – this place was hopping and quite…
As with every single aspect of our vacation, we were completely impressed with the quality and child-friendliness of the Yorktown Victory Center. Hands-on exhibits, actors, camps, films and indoor walk-through museums made this yet another wonderful stop. In the Revolutionary War camp, we watched as a cannon was fired… plotted our war strategy… wrote journal…
Hang in there, I only have six parts in this series. On our whirlwind tour of Virginia, we visited Jamestown and Yorktown in the same day. In order to share several pictures from each tour, I’m writing two posts. Jamestown, VA has two attractions (each requiring their own ticket), Historic Jamestown and the Jamestown Settlement. …
One entire day of our vacation was spent in Colonial Williamsburg. This is a WONDERFUL walk-through town of real and replica buildings that house in-costume craftsmen who are working their trades… and allow you to help sometimes. Actors gather in the streets to reenact Revolutionary events… and play various parts as you tour magnificent buildings….
Norfolk, Virginia houses the largest US Naval Base in the world – and it’s huge! Just about everything in Norfolk seems to revolve around the navy including shipyard after shipyard similar to the picture above. We only spent one afternoon in Norfolk, but easily could’ve stayed longer if we had the time. Our main purpose…
We took a MUCH needed and long awaited vacation to Virginia last week – and it was SO much fun! We soaked up a lot in seven days, so I’m going to post a short series of highlights over the next few posts. First stop – Virginia Beach! This was the first trip to the…
Tucked away in downtown Maysville, KY, overlooking the Ohio River is the National Underground Railroad Museum. My children had the pleasure of touring the museum located in the Bierbower House, which was a safe house for runaway slaves. Crawling through an underground tunnel that opened into a small room of four beds, runaway slaves could…
