We went to the Mission Inn Museum here in town as a part of our Riverside unit on Friday. We learned all about Frank Miller, the rise and decline of the Mission Inn, Duane Roberts, The Festival of Lights and the establishment of Riverside. We love our town and are secretly passing that on to Aggie through the guise of a homeschool unit. Plus, we are bribing her with fancy food by taking her to the Mission Inn Restaurant to eat on the patio for lunch under the old rotating clock. It was a great day...And we signed up for the Mission Inn Run-I am going to run the 5K and Aggie the 1/2K.
We also stumbled upon this great find! It is a 48 star silk flag made by Riversidians in 1903 to wave when Pres. Teddy Roosevelt came to the Mission Inn. Crazy!!! We bought a 104 year old flag for $5. They found a few boxes and now are selling them. Aggie is standing in front of the picture of Teddy and Frank Miller at the Mission Inn. This flag is almost exactly 100 years older than her!

How cool was that day. Having fun and learning about our landmarks. What a find that flag was.
You are so good at living out learning! That museum looks great, you will have to give me details so I can take Zeke!
You are the coolest homeschooling mom ever! I love how creative and hands on you are in teaching Aggie. If I was a homeschooler, I would totally want you to be my mom.
