We’re learning about U. S. History this homeschooling year. And we have begun our travels with the first voyage to the New World on the Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria. The girls have been enjoying stories, videos, pictures and illustrations about Columbus’ discovery of the Americas (really Central America). 

  (The send-off.)

  
Then there were some rough waters on the open sea…   
 (Stir, ladies, stir!!!)

    
They may have been bruised and battered (while in real life one didn’t make it but I didn’t have the heart to crush one of their boats to make that point right then. Hehe), they arrived in the New World.
