This year we will be going to Florida the day after Thanksgiving and staying a little over a week. It has in the past been a "hit and miss" type of schooling, trying our best to "work" in the bookwork. This year however, things have been running so flawless that even on really busy days they fit in some lessons in T4L. I don't see any real long breaks and even in Florida we will be trying to do lessons on dial-up.... We have in the past done some family Holiday projects but last year was the biggest by far. We took a trip to Plimoth Plantation and toured the Mayflower II in MA where the boys learned about the Wampanoag Homesite and what life was like in a 1627 with life histories of real villagers. Two days after that trip we had a family "harvest" dinner in CT with all extended family dressing up in pilgrim garb. The boys were Indians and it was a great time! I enjoy the Colonial part of history the most and really had fun along with the boys. So, I guess this year we will not be taking a break and will continue along just as we have been doing; things are going so well for us.
