We met our homeschool group at the Montgomery Regional Airport today to take a tour. Our guide told us the history behind the Montgomery Airport and showed us around. We even saw a few corporate jets take-off at the end of the tour.

Jasmine Hill Gardens and Outdoor Museum, "Alabama's Little Corner of Greece," features over 20 acres of year-round floral beauty and classical sculpture, including new statuary honoring Olympic heroes. The Olympian Centre was built with its front facade designed as a recreation the Temple of Hera as it looked int the 7th Century B.C. In 1996 the Olympic Flame originated at Olympia, Greece's ancient Temple of Hera ruins and came to the world's only full scale reproduction at Jasmine Hill's Temple of Hera ruins. The Olympic Flame burned there in the cauldron on its way to the 1996 Centennial Olympic Games in Atlanta.
Jasmine Hill Gardens is just beautiful! The girls enjoyed looking at all the plants and flowers on the grounds. The girls were able to look at the flowers and tell me things we have been studying in Apologia Botany all year. It was a great Botany field trip to complete our study! The Greek statues were also very fascinating!
