The Big Bang

Here we are: it’s Spring and the azeleas are blooming and the baby birds in the blue spruce by the front door are chirping like little cell phones. The formal homeschooling is nearing an end. This week, the girls go to the ISP office for the STAR testing. Their co-horts in the public schools are also testing this week.

Next week, we leave for the trip to Europe. Six countries in 5 weeks: England (primarly London), Wales (barging from Chirk), France (Paris), Germany (primarily Heidelberg), Czech Republic (Prague),  and Switzerland (Basel).  We have a France/Germany/Switzerland train pass, so we may go other places, too. We fly to London on May 1 and home from Frankfurt on June 5.

I will be updating the blog as we go, for those folks who want to read about our various adventures. I’m not taking my laptop, or my cell phone, so I will be in contact sporadically, but hope to write about everything. So, pack your proverbial bags (and my new, real ones) and off we go.
