Our Story

Welcome to our site! We are Joanne & Steve. After 20+ years working for a city school department and police department, we sold almost everything, bought an RV, and started living on the road with our three children. Joanne homeschooled and worked online. Over the years we worked for Jellystone Parks as well as volunteered. We stopped traveling after 7 years and bought a house. Steve continued police work with the National Park Service and Joanne taught Kindergarten. Now that our three kids are adults, we have decided to travel more and explore.

The Big Decision: part II

OK, so what exactly is The Big Decision? Well, it wasn't spontaneous. It is the culmination of several years of discussion and thought, peppered with circumstances and instances. You think that you have it all figured out; then you realize, that life is not linear. Life is constantly affected by obstacles, people, good things, bad things, new desires, old dreams. What was thought of as the best path, now is not as favorable. Or, at the very least, is making way for something else.

So, here it is:
We are selling our 2800sq. ft, 13.67acre home in Glocester and trading it all in to be a full-time RV family.

No, we have not flipped our lids; this is not a mid-life crisis; we have not turned hippie or overly-religious.

What we have chosen is living life as unencumbered as we can possibly live. We have chosen to spend our time with our family, for our family, and as a family. We want to dare to be adventurous. We want our adventures to be educational for our children, as well as for us.

This undertaking begins next summer...that is the plan. However, it really starts now. One does not just up and leave. There is a plethora of preparation...
