There are days when I think about chucking it all, packing up the kids, spouse and cats, and hitting the road for a few months. Only a two things stand in my way: my hatred for camping and my love of plumbing. 

After my playdate with Vicki from Where the FuhKaui?*, I'm starting to think that I could do it. Her three kids -- ages 10, 8, and 6 -- look like they're having the best time ever as they criss-cross the country in their converted school bus. Dad Joe seems to have a perma-grin in all of Vicki's pictures. 

And what pictures they are. Vicki has a knack for capturing the heart of both a place and the family. Just looking at Joshua Tree or San Diego or peacocks or ice make me want to be where she was, even if some of the excursion were less than pleasant. It's just gorgeous out there, though.

Which almost make me think that I could do it. Almost.
