Location: Travel Trailer Village at Prince William Forest Park (http://www.nps.gov/prwi/planyourvisit/ttv.htm) We were happy to find the bathrooms heated and clean. The driveways for the campers are very short. We fit ours in end to end. The faucets for hooking up are heated, but we decided to just make due without water in the camper. C&S explored a few trails on foot on a morning walk. This would be a great place to bring mountain bikes and explore the dirt roads throughout the forest.
Weather: A bit warmer - 30's in the day.
Audio Books: Uncle Tom's Cabin. We listened to the first third and due to the weary brains of the kids we switched to a lighthearted wild west story, The Misadventures of Maude March by Audrey Couloumbis. During our devotions we are reading aloud, Do Hard Things by Alex and Brett Harris.
A day of travel: listening to stories, sleeping, family worship**, stopping for gas (again and again), the drivers' loading up on caffeine and snacks... The most exciting thing was the removal of L's stitches.
**Family worship is not the worship of the family, but a time set aside each day to worship God together. Our routine changes with the ages, attention and interests of our kids, but here's what we are doing now: Sing several hymns that we become familiar with over the month, read from scripture (now finishing up the book of Luke), sing a song to help with memorization of the order of books of the Bible, read a portion of Do Hard Things and finish up with prayer.
