Day 19 - April 11 Worlds Best Roadschooling Convention Day 2, Tucson

Day 2 of the Roadschooling convention started off early, 10 am. That's early for use. But, we did manage to make it. More talks today, geocaching for the kids, lap books and RV fire safety for the adults.

The organizers were able to get Mac the Fire guy in. If you are in the RV circle you may had heard of him. His line is that "you have 20 seconds to get out". These coaches and trailers are marvelous adventures, but they are death traps in the event of a fire. When you sit and think about it a bit, it does make a lot of sense. Mac's talk was well worth the conference even if there were nothing else. Tomorrow he will lead us through getting out of those sorry excuse for fire escape windows.

We picked up some travel packets as our way of getting the toe wet so to speak. One of the organizers ( The Road School Teacher) sells information packets about some of the major areas they have been to. Local info, sites to see, history, etc. Seeing as we are planning to get to San Fran, we bought one for there, one for Tucson and another. A way to pay back for all the effort to put this convention on.

The day was wrapped up with a Chili cook off, Leroy came in third thank you very much. ( 3rd of 5 :o)  ). It was "Not Your Texas Chili chili". Probably should have called it Oklahoma chili. The pot was too small to call it a Texas crock pot, the chili had hamburger and beans, both a no no for Texas chili. Probably was not hot enough either. Hopefully the Texas citizen league will not find out and put me back on probation for not being a good Texas representative......

We ended the day with a bit of dancing to a local square dance band. The kids did most of the dancing, but the adults of the WeBeGone team did manage to get a couple waltzes in.


Great sun set

ready for the party
No pain, no fun
