is moving into our new 2 bedroom, 1 bath apartment on the farm this summer. Not strapping 5 kids in the back of a pop-up camper and setting off on a 8 week American West trip using a 5 gallon bucket for a potty.
Last evening I went to listen to 3 homeschooling moms talk about homeschooling on the road, some in Cadillac style and others using more modest transportation. We heard about great places out west to collect trilobites and petrified wood, as well as the best place to watch free movies when it rains for 9 straight days (Hingham, Mass. public library). After my initial interest in setting off to study American History by actually being there, I decided that I don't really want to spend hundreds of hours researching places on the Internet, buying a motor home, making camping reservations a year in advance, and sharing a bathroom the size of a mouse hole with 6 other people. I think it is great that some homeschoolers travel with their kids, but my crew will have to be content with textbooks, living books, and movies to learn their geography and history. I've had more than my share of travel adventures and don't want to purposely create any more.

Luggable Loo Toilet Seat and Toilet Bucket
Stop dreading the call of nature when enjoying your next hunting, fishing or camping trip. This handy item quickly converts any five-gallon bucket into a convenient portable toilet. The seat and cover combo effortlessly snaps-on and-off for easy assembly and cleaning.
