Portland Homeschoolers Field Trip

Today is the day. Here's the plan:

Check into hotel tonight- the Comfort Suites Portland Airport- pick up our Attractions Pass early in the morning and spend the 3rd at OMSI, the 4th at the Zoo and the 5th at the History Center.

The Attractions Pass actually has like 10 places we can go. We hope to hit the Children's Museum, the Pittock Mansion, the Art Museum and the World Forestry Center Discovery Museum.

See you there!

toddler destroys ancient art with sippy cup.

I just wanted to share a delightful article about traveling with children. I was hooked the minute the child threw her sippy cup at the world famous painting. Anyhow, it's a great read on flexibility while traveling with children. Something I'm going to need a lot of soon. Enjoy the article

We need two Biodiesel Campers

Strange thing to need, isn't it but my task tomorrow is to start to learn about such things. This travel documentary we started filming only 6 years ago, before our wonderful detour, is just about finished and we're doing a feasibility study now of spending a few months on the road filming more cities. While I love the idea of touring around for a little while, like a band of gypsies, and sharing space with 6 kids and a dog is really just part of life; sharing space with a mobile film studio does not sound like much fun. So if you want to teach me about biodiesel campers or some other form of green transportation for like a gigantic camper- please spare me the research and just send me a link, OK. If someone donates the vehicle, there will be shots of it all though the video.
