Part of me wants to ask this family if they're - how shall I put this? - nuts.
The other part of me is inspired.
Inspired to purge our home of unnecessary clutter, to spend more time outside together rather than behind our iPods/iPhones/laptops, and to let every day be the "weekend," as the father pronounces. Kind of hard to make a living with that last one, but whatevs.
And there's the little problem of our middle child who's at college across the country at the moment (She could always study online, right?)
Sigh. Truth is, I've never really liked camping. Glamping - yes, but camping? Not so much. And five of us in a long, narrow room on wheels could become rather, um, stinky.
What I'm most intrigued by, though, is the idea of living a life that's unexpected, that isn't so much concerned about prepping for the next day as it is about experiencing each and every moment, a life that's more about the journey and less about checking a box.
Unexpected.

An interesting post. It's just my hubby and I now, but we are still entertaining this idea. We are into keeping only the necessities. Thank you for sharing. Blessings, Susan Fryman
Cool idea! I would love to be able to road trip like that, but I can't keep my hubby on the ground that long :)
I cannot lie, gals - I think about it more than I let on. Methinks I'll have to lobby for this after the kids are all out on their own ...
VM ... I flew a lot last year and always wondered if we'd run into your hubby :)
Thanks for this. I have similar mixed feelings about such a drastic change. It's fun to think about.
