There was another family where the mom wrote articles for Salon. And years ago, I lusted after the cross-country adventures of Vicki Austin and her family, the summer before they moved to New York. (I had a total thing for the Austin books my L'Engle.) All of which is just to say, I also love the idea of homeschooling it for a year and traveling. But there is no way my husband could survive: he's very much an introvert and the kids, in that small space, would probably cause permanent mental damage to the poor man. So this is a dream deferred, and lived vicariously for me. Glad to see there are new places to look.
