We have 415 miles to drive today, so we got an early start. I forgot to mention before that the kids have been doing their school work in the truck and that has gone really well. On our first attempt, we put all the stuff in the truck at once, but it was too much. So, now we just grab one subject at a time and switch when we stop to get gas or eat lunch.
I also haven't really mentioned the plan here, but we are just trying to get up to Acadia National Park, in Maine. The stops in the meantime are just to break the trip up and see some things along the way, but most of the "trip" was to start in Acadia and stop at places along the way home. I thought that traveling everyday would be too much and the kids would mutiny, so we've been trying to find cool places to stop and then we spend one full day in each. Jellystone and Hot Springs were cool, but Nashville was really just a logical point to stop along the way. We got in about 8:00, so we just ate dinner and hung out before bed.
Good idea on one studying one subject at a time. Munity is to be avoided at all costs...especially with kids!
