You have a bunch of wonderful resources there and he will surely learn a bunch from the books and then seeing things when there. I love home schooling for that very reason. As per your post below, the going out and driving distances days in a row can be very exhausting. We read “Keep the Lights Burning Abbie” when my kids were little and went through the study guide.

For adults, I'd recommend We Took to the Woods by Louise Rich. I believe it's out of print but you should be able to find a copy online at alibris or from a used book dealer. Wonderful descriptions of roughing it in the North woods around Moosehead Lake in the 1940s. Rich is a marvelously gifted writer who loved Maine. We have a cottage in Boothbay where we go every summer. It's been in my family for 75 years. We'll be there eating lobster and listening to the foghorn in about three weeks!

We read Pete's Dragon to Becca and she was so confused. I plan on making Becca suffer through all of the Anne of Green Gables books (and movies) once she is a little older. Oh how I loved Anne when I was growing up :) That is more north than Maine though. Stephen King!!! Hmmm wait maybe not ... heehe :D Oooo L is for Lobster sounds awesome!
