Our family of four consists of Jim, Lee, Lauren (15) and Colin (10). We currently reside in a small town in Tennessee with the intention of living fulltime on a converted bus by January 1, 2009.

We will also be traveling with two four-legged members of the family: Jed and Jack. Check out our weblog and follow along as we make the biggest transition of our lives. Expect lots of fun. We sure do.

Caywood Family
Rollin Realestate Tour
Follow the journey of Tracy and Dan and their two kids as they purchase homes in 10 states during a year long cross country road trip. This trip will be instrumental in teaching our kids how to seize opportunities, think outside the box and have fun while still being disciplined and staying focused. We also hope they'll develop a greater appreciation for the fact that we have a strong family bond, no matter what we do or where we go.

DiParkomo Family
We are a family of three, my husband, myself and our 5-year old son, living on the road for now. We're really in search of a new place to call home, but we've given ourselves this year to explore the places we're most interested in and to travel to all those places we have wanted to see as tourists. We're also committed buddhists so we're planning on spending time in various dharma centers around the States and Canada.

Loud Family
So far smooth sailing, except for replacing the generator, knocking most of the roof top AC off in trees, and breaking our water heater. We are loving the fact that we are able to learn by trial and error. There is not to much else to break to learn from!
