Another One Of My Crazy Ideas

My husband thinks I'm crazy but I already knew that. A couple of weeks ago we went to the RV show to (LOOK) at motorhomes. We currently have a travel trailer and would like to trade it in for a motorhome. While we were there walking around I asked him, "So do you think we could get someone to run the business?" He just rolled his eyes at me because he knows my mind is turning with another one of my crazy idea's. I kept going... think about it, what if we got a motorhome and took off a year to roadschool. Wouldn't that be cool? He just kept ignoring me. Serioulsy, if money wasn't an issue I would totally live in a motorhome for a year and travel with the kids doing school on the road. Just think how much they would learn. We could visit what we were studying. I know I love our house but just think about the adventure that would be.

Tomorrow night on TLC don't miss the Loud Family. They had the same crazy idea I have. They are a family of six who rv full time and homeschool their children on the road. The show is called Six For The Road . One year ago they gave away and sold everything they owned and bought a fifth wheel and hit the road. They realized that they became caught up in life and became so busy with daily routines that they needed to take back their life. So they did what they have always dreamed of. They decided to leave it all behind and have never looked back.
They have enjoyed learning so much while on the road. They have been able to learn hands on in the most able places. They have been from Williamsburg to the Toilet Seat Museum . They have been to NYC and experienced the big city and we have been to a small town in Tennessee to help tornado victims try to put their life back together. They have done this as a family and have loved it!

How cool is that???

Yes, it would be hard going from 3000 square feet to 400 square feet with five kids. Kati, the mom said that life in an RV can get really crowded and hectic but it is fun.
