It is pretty amazing how caught up in life that you can get. I fully intended to be writing and updating this blog consistently but here it is MONTHS later and this is my most recent post. Eh, I don't consider it a failure.
I have spent the last few months finishing the school semester and then went directly to DC to guide some student groups through the Capitol. I never thought that I would grow tired of seeing the Lincoln Memorial, but holy crap enough is enough!
I have been home a few days now and am growing antsy to hit the road again. I have never been much for just laying around doing nothing so I have been trying to figure out who and what I can visit on the cheap. The unfortunate thing is that pretty much all my friends are working year round so they are never available to go with me on trips, not that being dragged to historic sites across the US would be all that appealing to them anyway, but they are growing to appreciate what I do.
I intend to make this my last year of regular teaching, yep i'm finally ready to put that out there. I have been teaching for 15 years and although I do love teaching history, I find that the classroom is increasingly more confining with each year. With my site One if By Land Adventures, I still plan on teaching but on my own terms without administrators or any of the other distractions that take teachers away from what they are really good at which is TEACHING.
It's time to finally pursue the dream. I have waited long enough.
