I love local history.† Haven’t always, do now.

I don’t know if it’s a homeschool thing or not.† I find myself loving things I never even cared about.† History in general, science, country life.† I have thought about it a lot and I think that Homeschooling is just a gentler, slower paced life. There isn’t so much hurryhurryhurry. I mean, we don’t even use an alarm clock to wake up.

We went to a covered bridge today. Our first one.† It was in Cullman and we loved it.† I found a really cool site with all the covered bridges in the USA!† Maybe we can explore them all!† Well….probably not.

It was 10 degrees cooler up there and we had our trusty Garmin which Kei has named NIA. I love that thing! I used to freak out about getting somewhere and then trying to get home but with the push of a button she takes us home! We don’t always agree on the route because I know all the little shortcuts but we get along very amiably.

And best of all….all it cost us was the gas. Which is VERY important these days.
