The Graham family of Kansas did something very unusual last year. Mr and Mrs Graham did not go to work, and their children did not go to school. Instead, Craig and Marlene Graham and their children, Courtney, 12, and Collier, 4, traveled together in a van(箱式车) and drove across America for a whole year.
First, Craig and Marlene sold their business(生意). Craig had a fruit business, and Marlene owned a small newspaper. Then they sold their large house. Finally, Courtney said goodbye to her classmates, and their dream trip began. The Graham family started their trip on July 4. They visited big cities and small towns in all 50 states.
