Colonial Williamsburg – The Mommies Reviews

How are you this morning? As the week begins and I work on the blog I wanted to bring you a new Homeschooling Resource from the Homeschool Buyers Co-Op. The new Homeschool Resource is for a virtual field trip to learn about Colonial Williamsburg. Colonial Williamsburg isn’t something Charlie has learned about.

I am not sure if we will do the Virtual Field Trip right now. I know as he gets older, we will, and I may go on this Virtual Field Trip to Colonial Williamsburg on my own. I enjoy learning about History and Colonial Williamsburg and seeing how they lived and dressed. I thought you might as well.
