We haven't been blogging our homeschooling in quite a while.  Well, here is an update on us.

 I have a son (22) that has been in college for three years.  He has his digital engineering certificate and is getting his Associates in Music Theory and Composition.

There are two left at home.  A daughter (16) and a son (13).  We do take a couple classes through a homeschooling community in Algebra, Science and Literature.  My daughter plays the piano and my son plays the guitar.  We are going to purchase the Drive Thru History homeschooling package to discover through the winter months.

I don't know how much homeschooling families spend on their homeschooling/unschooling ventures, but when I added mine up for the 2007-2008 year, we have come in around $1200.  This includes the classes and music lessons listed above, museum memberships and field trips.  I would be interested in knowing how much other families spend for homeschooling/unschooling ventures. 

I would like to also add some more traveling to our learning style.  We used to travel a lot more in the past, but I am working on paying off some debt, so traveling has been put on the back burner.  You can see some of the places we have visited in past bloggings at Camp Creevey.  We would like to go to Washington D.C. and surrounding communities, Whale watching in Maine, the Civil War Battlefields in mid-East and watch the fireworks for Independence Day over Mount Rushmore, just to name a few.

If anyone has any suggestions on how to do these kinds of trips inexpensively, please leave me a comment.

Happy New Year 2008.
