In addition we have visited many historical sites and national monuments along our travel.  See thecadenasfamilyontheroad.blogspot.com and click on the "history" or "national monument" tag.

Luna Reading 14/15

Luna is a big reader.  She reads each weeknight before bed for 30 minutes - 1 hour.  When she has a book she is really into she reads it every second she gets.
Since we are traveling and are limited on how much weight we can carry both of our girls received Nooks for Christmas and have unlimited access to our New Jersey library's e-books.  We have also accumulated two more libraries along our journey that have allowed us to use their e-book catalog. We do frequent Barnes and Noble trips to stock up on new book ideas to look for on the
library's e-book collections.
