They camped in every conceivable environment, from scenic national parks to less-than-exotic asphalt parking lots. They visited every one of the lower 48 states.Along the way, Sean blogged the trip in text and video. They explore the lighter side of travel; or as Kristy says, “the fun stuff!” Why did they do it? “Because life should be a long long honeymoon.”LONG LONG HONEYMOON - LIVING LARGE IN A SMALL TIN CAN combines the best of Sean's blog entries with original never-before-published anecdotes of the trip. This book is a unique hybrid, combining good old fashioned storytelling with valuable detailed information.The hilarious first portion of the book explores the couple's quest to locate and purchase an Airstream travel trailer.The heart of the book contains crucial advice and tips on the art of RV travel. For many RV travelers, these essays contain valuable information that make this book a handy reference guide.The result is a “must read” for anyone pondering life on wheels.

  • Lifetimes

    David L. Rice, Michael S. Maydak

    Hardcover (Dawn Pubns, April 1, 1997)
    Teachers and parents, this book is an outstanding teaching resource, much more than the title might suggest. Beginning with: A lifetime for a mayfly is about one day, it presents 24 lifetimes such as that of an earthworm (about six years), a giant sequoia (about 2,000 years), a bacteria (well, that depends), a dinosaur (never again) and the universe (about 15 to 20 billion years). Each example comes with detailed illustrations and something to ponder, such as, for earthworms: Worms teach us that our work can be very important, even if it cannot be seen. Each plant or animal is practically a lesson plan in itself, with tell about it, think about it, and look it up challenges. Written by a retired teacher, this is a favorite book for children and teachers alike. A 48-page teachers guide based on the book is available (sold separately).
