Homeschooling was never in our plans.. but as we looked at the school year and options for the family, we felt like this may be just the year to take control of plans and learn from a different perspective.

Our fall semester is going to focus on the Southwest of the U.S. — Most time in Arizona and New Mexico. Couple visits including Utah and Colorado with a touch of Texas/Oklahoma (passing through).

Here’s a start of what we’re thinking:

• Drive out through Atlanta (quick Meg + Jordan visit) and travel out through Oklahoma to our first stop: Flagstaff
• Week in Flagstaff
• Head the first weekend to Williams, AZ – close town to the Grand Canyon
• After a week in Williams and hopefully a number of visits to the Grand Canyon area, we’ll spend a couple nights on the rim at the Grand Canyon lodgs
• From there we’ll head to Sedona, AZ
• Followed by a week of true vacation/off the grid in Lake Powell and Zion National Park.
• From there – New Mexico for a month – Santa Fe and.. TBD
