History Trippin' 
In March of 2008 our family of four (plus 1 dog) hit the road for a yearlong tour of the United States
focusing on American History. This website is our journal from start to finish. Here we have passed along how we homeschooled on the road and
specifically what we learned about American history. We've also provided some lesson plans and activity suggestions
so that you can learn too! Continue...

Change of Plans - First Stop, Nashville |
|
|
Gatlinburg was supposed to be our first stop - to break up the long ride to Richmond and give us a chance to enjoy some snow. So naturally we find ourselves in Nashville. Are you at all surprised at this point? Since it snowed right before we left home, we had gotten our fill and decided to stop here instead. We have cousins here that we won't be able to see for over a year and the boys are having a blast with them. I have a feeling much of our trip will be this way. The plans that we made will be loosely followed. Some places that we hoped to see will get passed by and others will be added. That's to be expected.
Dan and I were invited to the National Religious Broadcasters
Convention going on here in Nashville through Wednesday March 12th.
It's an opportunity for us to share with Christian radio and TV
broadcasters what we're doing. We'll see what comes of it. We passed
out a few business cards and a couple of flyers about our trip. The
rest is up to God. That was cool, but now it's time to get back to
reality.
First of all, my necklaces cannot hang on a hook over the shower door.
The clanging while we drive is making me nuts. Second, the kids'
clothes cannot be stored in the compartment under our bed. It's too
heavy to lift every day. We need to do a little rearranging. Third,
the back of the van is piling up with dirty clothes. We don't have a
washer/dryer in the motorhome, so we'll have to visit a laundromat. I
expect to do 5 loads a week. Imagine...all of your laundry for the
week done in 2 1/2 hours. Sounds better to me than 2 loads a day.
Hey...I bet if I volunteer to do the laundry I could get 2 hours all to
myself.

No, no one at all will be surprised at a change in itinerary. Hmmm, being spontaneous versus being predictable...let's think about that one for a minute.
Here's a new fundraising idea for you though...how about a new coffee table book (no, not a coffee table book on coffee tables, not that there's anything wrong with that Kramer), but this..."Laundromats across America!!"
Get on the road again...there's a lot of white lines and asphalt between Nashville and Richmond!!
Later...
David.
