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 homeschools and works online.
What we have chosen is to live life as unencumbered as we possibly can and to spend time with our family, for our family, and as a family.
This website is a record of our travels. But, we also hope to educate, entertain, and inform others about RVing, roadschooling, and the great places we visit in this country.

Honey Sweetie?

The Egyptians used honey to keep wounds clean.  Honey is a hygroscopic substance, which means that it absorbs water.  It also stimulates the production of white blood cells.  The Egyptians knew nothing of this -- but they did know that applying honey to a wound caused it to heal quicker.
