Trip to Sea World Part 2

Posted in Family, Homeschooling, and Outdoor Adventures

I am so grateful for companies who offer special discounts for military members and their families.  We were able to go to Sea World San Diego for free.  Yes, we still had to pay $12 for parking, but that was our only cost.  We just had to show our military ids at the gate, and we received complimentary tickets for the day.

Eventually, a…

We decided to take a day trip over to the Sunset Crater National Monument while we were up in Williams (near Grand Canyon) camping.  The plan was only to spend a few hours over there, but it ended up being a very long day as a trip took us to more places… We started at the visitor center and picked up Munchkin’s Junior Ranger booklet for her to work on as we made our way through the park.  There were several different locations to stop along the way.  Our first stop after the visitor center was a hike up a…
