Virtual Field Trips - 2015/2016

This year we are starting 2 new studies (in addition to everything else we study) in our home-school year. We are going to be learning about each of our 50 states (which I'll get to later) and we are going to be taking virtual field trips. If you haven't ever heard of a virtual field trip you can Wikipedia it here. There are plenty out there already put together for you, or you can design them yourself.
