WELCOME
May 2013
It seems that my family and friends are having some difficulty keeping track of where the kids and I are during the summer. So, I've decided to start this blog in order to let everyone know where we are and what we are doing. I am also thinking that if I have a half decent record of our road school comings and goings I will some day be able to label all the pictures we take. (Or at least label the boxes and digital folders they are stored in). Perhaps there are a few of you out there who will be interested in reading about our journeys.
I guess I will begin by introducing the cast in this traveling troupe. I am Michele. Mom, home-school teacher, driver, gardener, goat herder and now a beginner blogger. Because dad works a lot of hours at a very demanding job we are often on the road without him. He prefers to save much of his time off for hunting trips. No thanks!
The munchkins are six, ten and sixteen (not so munchkin in the case of the oldest). boy, girl, boy. "Little Guy", is Jonathan. Emma is the "Girl in the Middle," and ...hmmm.... working on a nice nickname for the sixteen year old hormone over loaded teenage boy. (Daniel) Let me know if you have any suggestions!
The munchkins and I have this dream of traveling all the way around the perimeter of the USA . We would love to spend a whole school year on the road. Ahhhh... dream big, right! So many obstacles stand between us hitting the road on THAT trip, but we haven't let them slow us down when it comes to shorter and more seasonal wanderings.
We are getting ready to head out on our first short journey this week. We are headed to the mountains nearby where we can complete our leaf and tree identification study. The munchkins are so excited for travel season to begin they have been sleeping in RV for the last week.
If you have stopped by the read this blog, please leave me a comment. I would love to hear from you. Anyone else out there spicing up their home school by adding more than a fair share of travel? Tell us about your journey!
