Over a year ago we decided that we wanted to sell everything, buy a travel trailer and travel this beautiful country with our kids. It's a crazy idea, we know. Most people won't understand it, but we're gonna go for it anyway. We're gonna be a Fulltiming Family (FtF), a Family on the Road (FOTR). Its been a long year and a half of dreaming, learning, touring (travel trailers), but mostly praying! We feel this is our path. Our kids are growing up so fast. We figured why wait to go RVing, when we can go now and take our kids with us, to enjoy this wonderful country and see all its magnificant sites.
It's getting closer everyday. We will be able to file our taxes soon, then buy our trailer. That is our first step. We'd love to buy a 5th wheel, but not sure thats in the cards yet. There are a couple pull behinds that would really work for our family. Each kid will have their own bed, so we need a quad bunk. Plus a slide out (or two) are a requirement. Lots of storage will be needed too, with 6 people living in it.
We're really getting excited to start this adventure. Our direction and travel plans will be "set in Jell-O" as we like saying. We'll Workamp and volunteer across the country, hopefully working at Yellowstone next summer and maybe Amazon next winter, with lots of traveling adventure in between. We would like to volunteer in different towns as we travel, where ever we are needed.
We are going into our 7th year of homeschooling, which will just turn into roadschooling. How else can you get a better education, then to go to the actual battle sites, national parks and national monuments across the country, that you're already reading about for school.
This won't just be an adventure for our family, this will be our life. There are many other families out there doing this exact same thing. We aren't the only crazy ones! We're excited to join and meet them!
