Rain and other delays caused us to have to overnight behind a Cracker Barrel (A lot of them allow campers to do this; you just call ahead to make sure it is okay). Richard had planned to take the whole day off because we had tickets to see Ark Encounter […]
Our next stop was to see “Aunt Jill.” Richard’s parents were missionaries in Colombia. There weren’t a lot of educational opportunities where they served, so Richard went to boarding school in Venezuela starting at age six. The kids there lived in dorms and the couples that took care of them […]
We spent two nights near Clarkson, KY boondocking at T & R’s place. We parked in a grassy area near their house. We enjoyed talking with T and playing with their cute German Shepherd, Reina. R was super-helpful with some camper questions we had and even went out of his […]
For our next night, we did our first stay via “Boondockers Welcome,” in Kentucky. We boondocked in their driveway which was surrounded by beautiful farmland. It was a quick stay, but we enjoyed visiting with B & C on their porch. I loved getting to know them a little bit […]
First of all, I promise, Richard really did join us on this roadschool extravaganza. This is where he spends the majority of his days. It is the kids’ “bunkhouse” during the night, and it is Richard’s office during the day. It is an interesting game of Jenga (or is it […]
Daisy State Park has been delightful! We arrived late Tuesday evening, and since then we have had two rainy days and one sunny day. The first rainy day was drizzly and did not stop the kids from tromping around by the lake. Thursday was sunny, and Creed and I spent […]
Twenty-four hours before we left home, my prevailing thought was, “WHAT WERE WE THINKING???” Richard had many things to work on on the camper and a review coming up for work. I was trying to get us packed, finish up our co-op (which I teach for) and Creed had a […]
My first thought was to rent an RV for our road school trip. However, it quickly became evident that the cost to do so would be prohibitive. So I decided to look into used campers. I thought a bus style RV might be our best option knowing that our budget […]
A big question I get when we talk about this trip is: what will the kids do for school?? So obviously we thought this was a must-write post for the blog…First of all, I believe that the experiences themselves are rich with educational opportunities which cannot be obtained in any […]
Where are you going??? This is probably the number one question we have gotten as we shared news of our crazy adventure. So here is a general idea of what we are planning, although we will have to remain flexible for a lot of it. First of all, where we […]
