Tupelo, MS

The birthplace of Elvis Presley!  Not much else here.  We did go to a Buffalo Zoo which had a variety of animals.  To get in the Christmas spirit we did spend an entire day baking Christmas cookies.  Fun was had by all.

As we prepare for our return home, a few things came to mind.  First, change is hard even if the change is bringing you back to what you were once familiar with (traditional school).  As Michael continues to say that he wants to homeschool, I feel a sense of comfort since that is what we've been doing all semester.  Second, our life on the road has been such a simple life (one toilet to clean, no volunteering at school, no fashion pressure).  Finally, it was a lot of work to prepare to leave and it will be a lot of work to come home (unloading the rv, home repairs, school/activities).  Changing back to the life I left behind is a little frightening.
