For some this is a walk to the neighbor fire station or post office, for others it is taking a year or more to travel around the country like these folks. While some families go it alone, others organize a field trip through their homeschool support group. We're taking a tour of the Levi Strauss factory in San Francisco next week with a group of homeschool friends. Prepare your children ahead of time.

For a unit study, your family might use these links to plan a trip to see the museums that interest them the most. Lexington, KY Lynn Johnson has gathered sites devoted to horses, local heroes, aviation, children and more.
