Short Summer Break

8 Jul, 2009 50 States, Catholic Homeschool, History

Over the next couple of weeks my family will be visiting Springfield, Illinois for a Baptism. We plan to visit the Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum, I understand it is fascinating. The only disappointing factor is, not getting to go to Mass at Immaculate Conception Cathedral. It is closed for renovations. However there are plenty of nice Catholic churches there and we will be attending a couple of them.

On our way back home we plan on visiting the Parthenon in Nashville TN. and the Hermitage (Andrew Jackson’s Home) nearby Nashville. So in the course of about a week we will be covering:

A sacrament - Baptism
Ancient History – Greek Architecture and Mythology (Athena, Nike and I believe some other well know statues will be inside.)
7th President of the United States and early American times.
16th President of the United States and the time of the Civil War.

By the time we return home we should have our Time Line up and ready for posting pictures!
