Instead of just reading about the Civil War, Revolutionary War, Indian settlements, volcanoes, mountains, habitat, and animals - we go to them, experience those locations and subjects - we live them.
While in the east we studied manatees and then went kayaking with them and played with them on the shore of an inlet.
We studied alligators then held one and later that day we took an air boat ride through the Everglades.
We didn't just draw the Appalachian Mountains on a map - we drove through them and hiked them.
Bears were seen, a little too close, and photographed in Colorado and Montana.
We went to the PBR and another day sat on a bull and some even rode a bull at a
PBR world champion bull riders home!
We kayak the rivers, lakes, and oceans.
We hike the trails weaving through the many National Parks and National Forests.
We go to Pando, the world largest known organism.
We camp near every race, gender, and type of person in the United States.
We meet people from all walks of life from all over the world.
Education is not just learned from a book but we actually see, smell, touch, taste, or feel what we learn.

My husband confirmed that, yes, the salt in Death Valley National Park actually
tastes like salt.
My son found out that sand at the bottom the ocean is hard when you hit it with your knee after flipping over in your kayak.
My daughter found out that the view from Angel's Landing in Zion National Park is as stunning as she had heard.
My three old learned that trees and mountains are meant to climb and that they belong to him.

Instead of just reading about places and events, we study them and then experience them in as many ways and using all of our senses.
I can't imagine a better education for my children, from birth to 20 years old, all of my children are better off from this trip. Their education is unbelievable - I cannot even put a price tag on it. http://thelemonadedigest.com/issue/the-lemonade-digest/section/home-school-road-school
