/We were on vacation this week so we didn’t do any official lessons, but when you’ve developed a learning mindset in your family, you tend to find educational opportunities everywhere you go. We spent a week camping along the central coast of California, which I think is one of the most beautiful places on earth.
Whether just hiking and playing around our campground and the beach next to it or venturing a little further out, our whole family enjoyed learning about the history of the area and some of the wonders of God’s Creation.
The boys had plenty of opportunities to observe insects up close, including beetles and a praying mantis. We also had daily visits from the raccoons around our campsite.
We visited Heart Castle and learned a bit about architecture and art.
We explored some tidepools and collected things at the beach.
We fed sea lions and admired beautiful sea creatures at the Morro Bay Aquarium and learned about local geology at the Morro Bay Natural History Museum.
I love the freedom that homeschooling brings! Not only do we get to take off on vacation during the off season, our kids take delight in learning as a lifestyle.
