away we go!

No, for real. I'm going to look at RV's. I think with some serious planning, the very least I'll do is stop feeling stuck. I think we could actually DO this. The biggest expenses would be gas, maintaince, food and curriculum for the kids. And electricity?

I'm going RV shopping. It'll have to be a kick ass one to fit all of us comfortably. We'd be in MN from like June til Jan, then take off and go wherever from Jan til June. Maybe mom and dad would let us park at their pad for that time, we wouldn't take up any extra room in their house...

I'm so all over this.

The things I need to figure out are things like insurance- we'd need insurance. We'd also need to decide some things like employment- when we're "docked" at "home" in MN, are we both working? Is Cullen working? Am I doing seasonal work? When we're off and away, are we not working? Are we working on the fly? Is there a web based business that could keep us going somehow?
Would I wreck my kids by letting them literally have the world be their playground? Would I grow 4 gypsies as restless as their mom? I think we'd all be okay because we'd be docked for 6 months in the same place....
Wouldn't this be the funnest? IS there really any reason we can't do it? We'd literally have NO WHERE that we HAD to be, so we could stop wherever the hell we wanted. You know how on road trips you drive by signs like the Fire of whatever Museum? We could GO there. It wouldn't matter. Learning would be EVERYWHERE, for all of us. Would my kids miss having "solid" friendships with the kids from school, or would they be OUT with so many people and so much of the world that they would feel fulfilled?
We'd need money, I see...for food, gas...unseens. How would we make money on the road if I didn't pimp Cullen out? HAHAHA.
He just called. He's been hearing this for a few days and he is humoring me by listening and helping think up ideas. I THOUGHT he was humoring me. I had said "You should know better than to laugh, in a year I'll have us in a RV across the country!" and he said "Do you seriously think I wouldn't love that?" HUH? Oh, you mean I actually have a shot at this? That all we have to do is dream it up and make it happen? WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SO BEFORE???
