College Visits

Tiffany's college search continues. She is considering approximately 30 colleges and universities. To help her narrow her list down. We decided to go on a road trip. We wanted to Lorelai and Rory it, but we really didn't have time. We visited 4 schools in 3 days: Appalachian State University, University of North Carolina, James Madison University, and University of Virginia.


We only got lost once . . . well, maybe twice . . . we certainly did not get lost more than three times.


We also got to see some friends along the way who were able to give us a realistic picture of their schools.


It was a whirlwind trip, but it really helped Tiffany discover what she wants from a school.

Butterfly Migration

Monarch butterflies travel from Canada and the United States each year to overwinter in central Mexico. We have wanted to see this phenomenon for several years and this year we finally got the chance. We went to Zitacuaro, Michoacan and it was amazing. We hired a guide and rode horses up to the top of the mountains where we were treated to a view of thousands of butterflies preparing for the return northern journey.

Our trip to the veterinarian.

Jack was Alex's Birthday present this year. So, Alex chose to study dogs as his first Unit Study. As part of this study we went to the Vet's office to ask some questions and take care of Jack. At first, Alex wasn't sure that Jack was enjoying the visit, but it all ended well.

Bodies, The Exhibition

We were so happy when when this exhibit came to Mexico City. We just couldn't miss it.
