Rating:  Summary: Grandma's on the Go Review: 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.
Rating:  Summary: Absolutely fascinating! Review: 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.

Rating:  Summary: Grandma's on The Go Review: I think that this book is awesome. I read it from front to back in one day. I just couldn't put it down. It seemed like I was actually there with all of her kids, and it was a wonderful adventure. Check it out if you have the time, and enjoy the wonderful adventures of the Weishampel family.
Rating:  Summary: Grandma's on The Go Review: I totally enjoyed this book, Dr. Weishampel's descriptive narrative really helps you to "see" what she is describing. A fun yet thoughtful look at our United States and the wonders both above and under ground. Go Grandma Go!!!!!!!!

Rating:  Summary: What an experience Review: 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.
