We bought a motor home!

We bought a motor home yesterday so that we will have something more comfortable to travel in. It is used and not in perfect condition, but with a few adjustments, it will make our lives more convenient. Yes, an apartment would give us a tone more living space, but it also means packing and unpacking every 3 months, which means a very stressed and cranky Mom each time it gets close to time for us to move again. Life will be so much easier on all of us if we eliminate that from our list of things to be done every 3 months. We are all excited about the new "home away from home" for the upcoming year of travel. Now we just have to get it spruced up and ready for our long journey to the East Coast. I am planning to spend the next 2 years working as a travel nurse, moving around the Country and seeing things that we would never otherwise have the chance to see. It is a great way to finance your travels. We may even make it to St. Thomas or Guam this winter. Since they are both US owned territories I am able to work there as well. After about a year on the East Coast, we are hoping to take a few weeks vacation and travel back to China to visit our current exchange student and her family. When our time in China is over, we are hoping to spend a few months working and traveling through a few islands in Hawaii. While we are traveling, the girls will be home schooled. I have spent the last several months researching the different types of curriculum and deciding on what they will study. It will be great for them to study Early American History while we are on the East Coast. We will have many opportunities to visit museums and other historical places to experience that history in a more personal way. Though we will be sad to say goodbye to our family and friends for a while, we are excited for our upcoming journey and can't wait to see where it will take us.
