RV There Yet? A Cross-Country Cautionary Tale

At 40-something, Julia Roberts found herself unemployed for the summer and decided to do one thing she had always dreamed of - go across country in an RV with her family. Her husband wasn't unemployed, so she had to go it alone. She drove, worried, adventured and hurried, all the while keeping a journal (and making her kids keep them!) This book reflects the ups, downs and stuck-in-betweens of a family on the great American Road trip!

4A role model for us all  Feb 25, 2006
What other white-knuckled driver would buy an RV, cross the country with three young kids, give them all journals to write in, and then turn it into a book? Julia and her book are an inspiration for anyone who wants to combine adventure and motherhood.

5Both amusing and enlightenting  Feb 13, 2006
On the face of it, RV There Yet? is a collection of travel anecdotes that go from amusing to downright hilarious. The reader comes away laughing uproariously (there are genuine I Love Lucy-style moments on this wacky trip,) and questioning the sanity of the parents, then wanting to be adopted into their family. Truly, this diary of a zany adventure also provides a portrait of a loving, charming family as they create lasting memories, albeit many of them gloriously inexplicable.

5A fun and entertaining read  Feb 10, 2006
This true story, that tells the tale of an adventurous mom who takes her family on a trip cross country in a "previously owned" RV. Think of "I LOVE LUCY" meets "Thelma & Louise"! It is an amusing and touching story of a wonderful family and their amazing adventure. You won't be disappointed.

5Family Fun  Feb 08, 2006
This is an inspiring account of a family's cross country RV trip. Each family member shared their experiences from their own perspective. It described various sites in a fun although sometimes frustrating way. Couldn't they just have left earlier? I felt their frustration at just missing out on various opportunities. It also pointed to the vulnerability one experiences in the desert where cell phones don't work and help is far away.

5One Family's Entertaining Journey  Feb 07, 2006
This book documents the cross country odyssey taken by one New Jersey family. This is a tale well told with contributions by each member of the Philips/Roberts clan.
