I just finished a delightful little book, Governor's Travels by former Maine Governor Angus King. If you are a regular reader of this blog, you know I have a fascination with driving around this great country of ours.
Most books I read about USA travel are books written by solitary individuals; people who are using the time to sort out one personal dilemma or another. Governor's Travels, however, is an enjoyable journal of an entire family's five-and-a-half month jaunt through America. The former Governor, his wife, 12-year-old son and 9-year-old daughter used the trip for numerous educational visits to national parks and monuments -- a vagabond homeschooling, if you will. (Even if that "home" was on wheels.)
Between the lines of this vacation tale is a story of family and togetherness and love. I recommend this book, and a road trip, with all my heart.
