**I SHIP ON TUESDAYS**

Thanks for viewing this listing and (perhaps) entering the comment drawing! I love Listia, and we're having a great time cleaning out the RV by listing great items on here and turning them into gift certificates for yummy food on our adventures.

Who are we? We're a family of 4 (mom, dad, 12 yr old boy, 10 yr old girl...and don't forget Old Cat and Young Cat) on the adventure of a life-time: experiencing America in our RV. We never know where we're going to be, or why, but we're going to have fun (and troubles) along the way. Fan us and check our listings weekly for updates on our journey.

This week we were in Lebanon, TN for an RV get-together called a "Samboree". We were the youngest people there, as typically, rvers tend to be retirees. Well, that certainly didn't stop us! It was Fab 50's theme, and 10 yr old Sara was invited to join in part of the entertainment. They had a skit planned where they would give hula hoops to a bunch of older folks to try to do on stage. Well, Sara was called up to "show them how its done" after they struggled hysterically! Sara is excellent at hooping. We did a video and will put it on youtube tonight. (rvtravelwithkids).

Last week's winner: MoxieCat!

these are so cute they should do well

How fun! I'm going to guess you're home schooling, too?

We live in the small town of Jonesboro, IN in Grant County. It's a tiny town of about 2000 residents, hiding between one with 10,000 (Gas City) and one with 30,000 (Marion). Just south of us is also Fairmount, similar in size to us, and hometown of James Dean and also Jim Davis, creator of Garfield. There are lots of great seasonal festivals in the area, but one of the best ways to see Grant County, that takes you through all of the towns I mentioned and also a few more is the Garfield Trail. Themed Garfield statues (like the ones of Punxatawny Phil in PA) are spread throughout the county, and you can take the tour guided by your cell phone. It takes several hours, and you get to see a lot of the splendor of Indiana corn fields along the way, with quaint small towns scattered between. Also, Marion features the Christmas Walkway of Lights from Thanksgiving through New Years. It's got the best darn life sized nativity I have ever personally seen. (I tell everyone that i let them borrow it from me.) ;)

By the way, I knew Ostriches had feathers, but I never knew they had shells, too! Live and learn! :)

Franklin NC is a wonderful place for kids and adults. The Cowee Valley is considered the gem capital. Natural gem mines. ruby ,sapphire and garnet. We frequent one that they bring the dirt out of the mine & you fill your own buckets. My son found a 20 karat black sapphire his first trip. I have bags of raw gemstones that one day I hope to have cut. It is a great learning experience, really beautiful in the fall when the leaves change. A mother Earth Paradise!!!
