Item Description...
No one would begrudge this overloaded mother the right to stay put. Yet, Carol Weishampel had an ironclad resolve to see the world--and take her motley brood with her What makes a reasonably sane, single mom pack up her nine (yes, nine ) adopted kids-some severely physically and mentally challenged-for a 3,000-mile, three-week camping trip? A gutsy, determined Weishampel combines her love for travel with parenting a passel of children as she progresses from primitive, tent camping to a series of motor homes--while providing a loving nest for her young charges. Follow their adventures through 26 states, Canada, and Mexico as she and her kids dig for dinosaur bones, ride out storms, and explore God's creation. Under the tutelage of the resourceful Weishampel, even the inconveniences of flat tires and other roadside challenges become character builders for her fortunate young ones. "Grandma's on the Go" is crammed with ideas, trip-planning tips, and other helps for the novice camper, experienced RVer, or armchair traveler. When not on the road, author Carol V. Weishampel, a retired teacher with a doctorate in education, lives in Houston with her youngest son, Chris, two Shelties, and six cats . She Homeschools Chris and volunteers extensively. |

 | What an experience Feb 25, 2004 |
| It's been a while since I embarked on that trip to Montana- the babysitter who joined her nine charges and their solo-mom on their vacation. While there were parts I had forgotten, there were also parts I clearly recall, like wanting to hop the next flight back to Texas once we got to our destination. Somehow through it all Carol has an amazing ability to create great camping trips and still keep her sanity and this book makes a wonderful travel-log of all the places she's been, most of which I did not experience first hand. An interesting read with the addition of suggestions and advice for future campers. Who knows, I haven't been camping since that summer back in 1990, but my son and I are considering the concept now. Now all we need to find is a decent dutch oven and good pairs of hiking shoes. | | |  | Absolutely fascinating! Feb 24, 2004 |
| I found this book to be absolutely fascinating. When I was growing up, we never had any adventures or vacations. I sit and read this book, then close my eyes, picturing myself there. I wish I could have had some of those adventures myself. Carol gives a great story on traveling with so many children. It really makes me feel like getting a trailer and taking my three kids out to see the world. I highly recommend that you read this book, it is so interesting and detailed. | | | | Adventure for all ages Feb 21, 2004 |
| This is a great book for those whom have always dreamed of adventure but have been afraid to. This book will encourage and inspire young and old to get up and GO. Whether you want to roam the continent for pleasure, join a Sojourners group, do God's will, or just explore this book will give you the courage to stand up and say, 'YES I CAN!'. | | | | Grandma's on the Go Feb 10, 2004 |
| A very informative compilation of camping/RV-ing tips learned on the road, mixed in with incredible stories of how this single mom involved her many children in active learning experiences on the road all over North America. She is an inspiration for other women who may lack her kind of guts to venture out of her comfort zone with common sense, a strong faith in God, and an insatiable drive for exploration. Having shared some time with the author in a camp setting in Alaska, I have learned much from her wealth of experiences first hand and vicariously through this book. | | | | Grandma's on the go! Feb 10, 2004 |
| I read and enjoyed this travel log of Carol's and her adventures across the US with a passal of young'uns. Keep up the good work and may God Bless! See you on the road..... | | | Write your own review about Grandma's on the Go
