It helps to be flexible. We had initially planned to drive up to Cumberland, MD to visit the Paw Paw Tunnel and the end of the C & O Canal, but my husband had a scheduled conference call at 11:00 am, and Skype meeting at 3:00 pm. I really wanted to make this a family trip because the four of us had been stuck in the house for awhile now and we were all feeling restless.
Great Falls is part of the C & O Canal, and it has 6 locks in a one-mile radius. A 30-minute drive to Great Falls to find all six locks was much more efficient than a 2-hour drive to Cumberland.
Another tid bit, is that even though your child may learn much quicker in a 1:1 home school setting, it's important to review and go backwards in case anything is missed...even if your child disagrees LOL
Lastly, a shorter day can definitely be a more productive day: don't try to cram every subject into a school day. My daughter certainly wants to, but no one wants to see a kiddo burn out.
