Weird Question: RV living

We’re thinking about doing that very thing next year, but neither DH nor I have ever done anything like that before…

Watching this!

We own an Rv and about once a year we go on a trip that lasts between 1-2 months. We can do this because my dh works for himself and can work remotely. We LOVE it! We are working our way through the US. We just got back from a 5 week trip to Texas. We saw Carlsbad Caverns (on our way to TX), the Alamo, other historic missions, 6th Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza (where JFK was shot), # 1 children’s Museum in the US, Houston Zoo, Sea World, The Museum of Natural History and Science, Dallas Heratige Village, to name a few.

To find places to visit this website is the place I go: http://www.familydaysout.com/ You just click on the State you want to visit and up will come an amazing list of places to visit by different categories (Museums, Theme Parks, etc.).

If you have any specific question I would be glad to answer them.

We haven’t done this-yet. But we do primitive camp each summer for up to three weeks at a stretch, plus one week here and there via boat all year long. We take much of our school stuff with us when we travel. We also do a LOT of nature study during these trips.

We did this last school year 🙂  We were not RVers before we started our journey!  My husband’s job was not one that he could do on the road, so he took a leap of faith and resigned his position (he is retired Air Force and was working DoD.)  It was a wonderful adventure documented here: http://www.teammontyexpedition.blogspot.com  (I didn’t blog the last month of our trip, due to the fact that we were starting our new life in Kentucky and I didn’t get back to it )  Anyway… you can read about 9 months of our 10 month journey.

It is very easy to school on the road, as there are so many learning opportuinities along the way, the internet brings the world to your finger tips no matter where the RV is parked (unless you don’t have internet capabilities where you’re camping!), and ebooks make bringing a library along possible.  

The hardest part of trying to school was limited space for supplies and “real” books.  I really missed our library!  The kids did, too.  They love books you can hold better than ebooks.  The second hardest part was renewing my mind about what education means.  We kept our math curriculum, copywork, and a few other things.  But, we left history, geography, and science education to the location we were.  We visited many national parks and did the Junior Ranger program, toured many museums and factories, plus we went on spontaneous adventures that were led by the Lord!  

We miss being on the road…  it’s a very unique experience.  It bonded our family together in life-long ways.  There is so many places we didn’t see that we’d love to visit.  I guess they go on the someday list…

If you have any specific questions, please let me know.  I saw GO FOR IT!!!  And enjoy the journey!
