Introduction/Esittely

Welcome to Our Mothership Adventures! Our blog is named after our RV, as most (though not all!) of our adventures happen during our RV travels. We lovingly call our 1991 Airstream 350 motorhome "The Mothership". We found it on eBay last Summer, and first took some smaller trips in New England in it before driving down to Florida for six weeks last Fall.

We are back home now in New England, The Mothership is waiting for us in Florida, and we are currently making plans to head South so we can continue our adventures. Our current (somewhat flexible) plan is to leave in April in our GMC - missing the comforts of our RV, no doubt. In addition to our trip, our family is actually looking into relocating to Florida, at least for most of the year. But we shall see what the future brings! This blog will hopefully be an online diary of our travels and adventures.

Our family consists of New Englander Dad, who will bring work with him wherever our wild plans take us, as he is self-employed. Mom, the keeper of this blog, is from Finland originally, and might occasionally write here in Finnish too. She helps Dad with his business and homeschools the four older children. We have three sons: Mr. D, Mr. A and Mr. T and two daughters: Missy and Little Miss. (At least that is what I'm thinking of calling them for now to protect their privacy here online.) This is our first year of homeschooling after our older children attended a great Christian school for five years. We are working on finishing 5th grade at the moment, using a computer based program Switched-On-Schoolhouse. Little Miss was born in China, and joined our family in 2006. She has been attending a local preschool for three mornings a week this year.

That's us in a nutshell. I hope you enjoy following our adventures!
