Stepping Off The Track

CO, NYC, Chicago, Dominica, Fl, Vermont and NOW staying put for awhile in LA!
We have 2 boys, who are homeschooled, and like all parents we want to support any passions we see arise. Well, they both have a passion to perform. Our older son Keean, on a crazy whim auditioned and got a role in the Broadway Musical "Billy Elliot"! So we sold almost everything (house included) and left our fantastic 15yrs in Colorado and headed to the BIG APPLE! We have been on the move ever since and consider ourselves an everyday family embracing life the best we know how. We tend to do things a little against the grain, but learning all we can along the way! Here's to sticking together as a family and creating an amazing adventure along the way!

Let Go of the Reigns.....

And see what happens!  That is what I did.
We have moved again and living in the most adorable neighborhood in Vt with some of the neatest people.  Very small town feel with community garden and compost, loads of kids, cute community park, cliff jumping in the lake and more.....just a great summer spent inVT.  So I decided since we are in New England we should do some exploring.  Since I am normally the "cruise director" I decided to ask the kids and see what they wanted to see.  They both said Boston, so I said ok..... you plan a 2 day trip start to finish.  From where to stay, what to see, mapping it out, etc and try to keep to a budget of some sort.  Well, I must say what a major accomplishment!  I heard phone conversations with hotels, calling and asking about tours, google map print outs etc......Absolutely amazing!  Now it was time to put it all to the test.  Well, from hotel, to driving, to taking trains, to sight seeing, tours, art galleries and RAIN both days....they did an amazing job and it will be a forever memory in my mind and a dose of confidence and power in theirs!  WELL DONE! I could not have done it better myself.  I just let go of the reigns and got led around the wonderful city of Boston.  Fantastic!
