What a great list! It’s been a long time since we were in Texas, but your list looks like the perfect way to blend homeschooling and fun /education and entertainment. Thanks for sharing!
Great list, Lori! I definitely want to take the kids to the Space Center sometime. Going on our list of possible weekend road trips.:)
