fourth grade in california

i love it, and realize that this is what i've been looking forward to when it comes to homework. thing one and i are at la purisima mission in lompoc, ca, weekend before last. how beautiful is this?what a lovely mission, (restored, of course after the big earthquake of date -- OOPS early 19th century) and well expanded upon by people who care about representing the past.

here's what thing 1 was interested in:

chumash reed house.

so fun, no knitting, though i could have if i had not been the driver as well.

this seems more like foreign history than american. colonial annapolis was fascinating, but way more dominated by the european pov, it seems to me.
