chapter 2: an overview

so as the home schooling group winded down, and my dad got bored of his teaching job at a local university teaching 6 or 7 different kinds of college level science classes, we decided to move. i have no idea why my parents chose to travel maybe it was there life time plan, but never the less we did. we sold everything we owned in order to purchase an old European trailer camper. however we did not have the means to pull it. so for a weak or two, we had a couple drive it around for us with there minivan. with them we headed to river cane rondavue which is a native American skills festival, which i absolutely miss attending every year. like i said we only traveled with them for a year. probably because on the way home a lady that fell asleep behind the wheel barreled into us. we were all fine but i remember looking out my window and seeing her van rolling along side us going just as fast as we were which couldn't have been under 60 miles an hour. the van that belonged to the couple we were with was fine, however our camper was smashed and twisted so badly we couldn't retrieve our belongings from its belly. after the accident we purchased another European camper ( this one being able to drive itself), three kayaks, five bikes, and one sail boat. we traveled to all the states besides Alaska and Hawaii, and sailed on the great lakes, and at least two oceans.
