    One Family Seeks Out American History...in an RV

    Imagine this.....gasoline and diesel prices are going through the roof.....yet you decide to leave your home, get an RV and travel across the country for 16-18 months! Sound like National Lampoons vacation? Or the latest Robin Williams RV movie? Well....your're right, only this case it's not a vacation!!!

    This morning I met the Taylor Family, Dan, Jennifer and their two sons Mason and Griffin. After Jennifer was diagnosed with an illness that forced her to take early retirement, she decided along with her husband Dan to come up with a way to spend more quality time with her kids.

    Jennifer and Dan home school their kids and decided the best way to learn American history is to experience it face to face and visit some of the nation's most famous spots. So they left home, bought an rv and thus far have traveled 4,000 miles.

    Are they spending a small fortune on fuel prices? Yes. Have they made adjustments? Yes. Is this trip costing them more money on the road traveling in an RV verus staying at home? NO. Take a look at the creative way they found a family to lease their home, while they travel across the country on a trip of a lifetime!
