Checking in...still in Las Vegas. We had the best day today. You know when the day just flows perfectly? That was today. We had school time in the morning and the kids are just loving the home school lifestyle. Asher really is reading good and loving it. He is understanding the concepts great and Rider is on a classic literature marathon. He just finished the Invisible Man and started Moby Dick. I can't wait until he reads that! It will rock his boat (no pun intended)! 
After our school day( about 2 hours) we spent the rest of the day at the pool. Asher really learned to swim today! They are both fish. I had a blast jumping in and out of the pool. While we all this was happening I built our business. Trained some new partners, put people in appointments, got coached, had an amazing team call. Put 4 people on the Fantastic Four Star in Four Weeks program and changed some lives. What a day!! Oh and did I mention I helped some others start a detox and cleanse program that will completely transform their current health? 
Anyway I posted some pics to get everyone up to date on our great adventure. We went to Calico Ghost Town outside of Barstow, CA. We had a great time there. If you haven't been they have a great camp ground.  Look at the picture I was totally possessed by this Indian. I look exactly like him...creepy. We completely freaked the kids out reading true ghost stories from Calico. There are some doozies. But the highlight for me is actually seeing a famous ghost. There is the old one room schoolhouse and there are lots of stories of a little girl that hangs out there. I got to see her. I'm getting chills just remembering it. Also while we were there Fuzzy one of our 3 cats (yes we have 1 dog and 3 cats in our bus) got seriously sick. Maybe a ghost cat possession. $2000 later and a week in 24 hour hospital care first in Barstow then in Las Vegas we never did find out what was wrong with him. He is still miraculously with us.

 We have also been to Portland, OR where we had a large event for our business. Dr. Suhas flew in to talk to us about Ayurveda and taking charge of our health and our CEO and founder of our company even Skyped in to talk to us all. It was an amazing event and we were able to be there to support our team. We fell in love with Portland and ended up staying almost 3 weeks. That is the beauty of being on the road. We don't have to be anywhere because we are here. That is true freedom.

New Career for Asher & Rider

Portland has these amazing food lots. They are all over town. Rider and Asher found their favorite truck and made friends with the owner and he put them to work. They are now thinking about a new career. Entrepreneurs at heart!



 
We also went to the giant volcano. That is truly awe inspiring. We learned alot of geology and gave us a new subject to study. However no cell signal drove us out of there in a few days. Can't leave our team hanging for too long.





Having a blast at Mt. St. Helens, WA
I think we took a wrong turn?!

 We never want to stay on the main roads and found something on the map that looked pretty cool. We were crossing Idaho on our way from Oregon over to Utah. The map says its paved ...Let's go. Cruising along at 45 mph we hit washboard dirt road. The whole bus was shaking. It was like a tornado things were falling out of cabinets that were bungied closed. Holy moly everything was on the floor. Well we looked at the map and we had 40 more miles of this.......no where to turn the bus around...here we go. We were out in the middle of nowhere. Us and the cows of Idaho. We did reach our destination. The City of Rocks. It was amazing. It is like Yosemite and Joshua Tree all mixed up. It is one of the top rock climbing destinations in North America. Who knew???  We saw some amazing climber way up on top of these 6 story spires. Wow! However before you go....it is remote and there are only dirt roads. We made it in Dolly so you can too. I said to Kelwin well we will never do that again. He said to me "Yes we will" and you know he is right. We will definitely do crazy nerve wracking things again.
I am still getting the dirt out of Dolly!

City of Rocks, Idaho




I am almost caught up to present day and there are soooo many more stories to tell! Just know that we are having a great time and feel so grateful that we can just take off and do this with our kids. This is the life we dreamed of and we made it a reality. It just shows us that no one has to live a life of struggle. If we can do it anyone can do it. It just takes enough courage to take life by the horns and not settle for what you don't want. Stand up and take charge.
