Rvers don’t homeschool, they roadschool. And by definition, ROADschooling means you have to hit the road! (ok, there isn’t really a REAL definition of roadschooling. 😉 ) We LOVE living history sites, so we are always on the lookout for them while we are traveling. A favorite of ours is located in Lafayette, Louisiana; Vermilionville is […]
NOLA – Audubon Insectarium & Butterfly Garden!
The Tribe hasn’t shared where we’ve been or what we are doing in awhile! That doesn’t mean that things haven’t been happening, it’s just that after being on the road for over 7 years, we sometimes want a break from sharing! lol. But, we’re back, ready to show you some of the fun places that […]
Creole Adventure Point, Sulpher, Louisiana
Located just off of I-10 in southern Louisiana, is the Creole Nature Trail’s Adventure Point. This fun and unique stop is actually a satellite office for the Lake Charles convention and visitor’s bureau, and offers the same services you will find in other visitor’s centers, but with a family friendly twist that is sure to appeal […]

By 2 Comments
After we left Baton Rouge, the plan was to head to our favorite Louisiana State Park – Fontainebleau, just north of Lake Pontchartrain, which is New Orleans’ northern border. We very seldom make reservations when we travel, and this was no exception! We had decided to head there on Friday evening thinking that the more […]

This would be our first tour of a destroyer! We’ve done quite a few battleships, but this one was exceptional in that it had […]
