Permanent Vacation

Been trippin'?
As the Permanent Vacation series ends, stories of your own journeys will begin.
We gambled and lost everything we didn't need
After nearly two years on the road, we arrive a different family -- splintered but revived.
What matters
After a year and a half on the road, we're two states from home. Time to figure out whether it was worth it.
Are we there yet?
The end of the road -- and our nomadic life -- looms.
There is a god
It was the worst that has happened to us, but a lot of blood later, I'm alive and have seen grace.
Cranks and visionaries
We meet the best of both on the road.
Trailer, sweet trailer
We are transients with no basement, no garden, no clothesline.
Kids on the road
They have exchanged hair gel and television for playing blindman's buff and swimming with manta rays.
We pull up our roots
And our confidence withers. Whose idea was this, anyway?
Permanent vacation
We've sold everything and we're hitting the road with our kids.
