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.
