Be a homeschool hero and take the whole family on a learning loop road trip this fall and experience 13 historical and fun attractions.

It was early October, so kids were back in school and most others were saving their vacation days for the holidays. This meant we could enjoy the famous theme parks of Orlando without the crazy lines. And, without the stress of crowds, I was able to reach a new level of adventure.

The Island Belle sternwheeler pulled up. The 20-minute ride was a fantastic way to begin our day in beautiful Parkersburg, West Virginia.

With the assistance of a rather excellent public transportation system (which can help save you time on a walking tour of the city), it’s quite possible to see a vast majority of the San Francisco in a glimpse.
