NC Zoo : Homeschool Field Trip

Mordecai Historic House #DiscoverRaleighParks
Remember last week when we went to the Walnut Creek Wetlands and John Chavis Memorial Park on the same day? Well, after we finished those parks we were hot, hungry, and thirsty so we drove down Person St to Krispy Kreme for a drink and some Hot Now Donuts. It’s always fun to watch them…

We headed to Walnut Creek Wetlands to check out the awesome center they have. The center overlooks the…
Sertoma Arts Center/ Shelley Lake #DiscoverRaleighParks

Millbrook Exchange Park #DiscoverRaleighParks
Yesterday I took the boys to explore Millbrook Exchange Park. We’d been there a few years ago, back when I only had 2 boys but never really explored beyond the playground.
