As most of you know (especially those of you who have been around for the past FIVE years of Mt. Hope Chronicles), I’m a homebody. I rarely go anywhere. The last time I took a trip on a plane was when I went to Las Vegas with Russ a few years ago. Other than that, we’ve been on a couple trips to Washington and California. A jet-setting adventurer I am NOT.
You also may know that I am a HUGE fan of Susan Wise Bauer and The Well-Trained Mind. That book was the catalyst for my homeschooling adventure over 11 years ago (before I was even pregnant with Levi!)!! I also had the privilege of listening to Susan Wise Bauer speak four years ago when my sister and I traveled up to Washington for a homeschool convention (for the sole purpose of listening to her lectures).
During the past five years of this homeschooling adventure, we have used so many resources written by Susan Wise Bauer or offered by her publishing company, Peace Hill Press.
Imagine my delight the squeals and screams when I received an email inviting me to spend a weekend in Virginia to see Susan Wise Bauer and tour Peace Hill Press with four rock star bloggers (I am the token mom-next-door-blogger). And stay at a B&B. And spend a day at Colonial Williamsburg.
Yeah, there was NO WAY I was going to turn THAT down.
The tickets have been purchased. I am going on an adventure. Only two weeks to wait oh-so-impatiently.
You know you are going to have to hear about it for the rest of my blogging days.
There will be pictures, of course. And give-aways. It will be all sorts of awesomeness.
The count-down begins.
