We’re always looking for a good STEM museum and have been to more than a couple across the nation. While staying in a favorite boondocking spot outside of Phoenix, Arizona, and thanks to our student EAA membership, we had the opportunity to visit the Arizona Science Center. What to do and Learn at the Arizona Science Center The Arizona Science Center is a sprawling 3-level campus with exhibits ranging from
On our way west from Virginia, we were able to drive through Tennessee. One of our stops was in Nashville. We were racing the weather, and our stop was a Boondockers Welcome spot, so we only stayed two nights. This was not nearly enough time to explore Nashville, and we’ll have to come back, but it was really cool. Nashville: More Multilingual Than We Were Expecting One thing that really
While staying in Virginia, we took in many historical sites. However, that’s not all Virgina has to offer. The Science Museum of Virginia was a pleasant surprise!

While we stayed at Jacques Rolling Wheels DIY, Mom and the kids got a chance to explore the Discovery Center in Springfield, Missouri! So what is it? The Springfield Discovery Center is an enormous STEM playground.
