I just love Christmas break!No only do we get to celebrate the birth of our Savior, but it also means NO SCHOOL which translates into FUN FAMILY FIELD TRIPS!
After a trip to Build a Bear, we went to the pier to see the replicas of the Nina and the Pinta.
It was FREEZING!!! We had to go back to the car to get jackets. Brrr!
But how cool is that? It was like we had stepped back in time.
These ships were built exactly like the originals.
The kids had a ball climbing all over the ships exploring.
Brian keeps saying "ARGH" while I am typing this post. I keep reminding him that Columbus was an explorer...NOT a PIRATE.
We even stopped at a few of the educational signs to learn a thing or two.
Land Ho!

Land Ho!What a fun way to learn about History!
I really don't need too big of a push in order to become a homeschool mom. I learned more about Columbus and history while touring these ships, than I ever did in a classroom.
How Cool!! Are those there all the time??? I would love to see them!!!
ReplyDeleteMary~ The boats are docking at different piers everywhere. I don't know how long they will be here, but probably gone before you come back to Fl....unless ....you want to come this weekend!!!
