Here are my daughters at Star Trek: The Experience in Las Vegas a few weeks ago. We are huge Star Trek fans.

My daughters and I are currently on a road trip, checking out famous (and not so famous) space exhibits and sites in New Mexico (more on this later).

Amy Steinberg’s much anticipated new CD, Fall Down to Fly, is out as of yesterday. Her song Exactly is a favorite of many Unschooling families. We really relate to the lyrics and enjoy her beautiful and soulful voice. I’m extremely excited that she is playing near me this year.
