The “A” in KEA stands for Adventures! For the most part, that refers to adventures in learning, but at KEA we have always felt life is learning. And this summer we're stretching our wings a bit. We are traveling away from our comfort zone (i.e. a small cabin in the woods) and venturing into the big city!

Yep, we're coming out of the backwoods of Alaska to take a grand tour down the Atlantic coast from New York city to Washington DC by bicycle. Yikes!

To say this is WAY out of our comfort zone is just a slight (wink, wink, snicker) understatement! But life is learning and experiencing new things! So away we go.

The really fun part is going to be actually seeing many of the places (or general regions, at least) that we conference with throughout the year. Our plan is to start out in New York city then head down through New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia before looping back up to DC.

We'll be posting trip updates and thoughts, along with route information, as we go. We are completely excited about this opportunity to explore different lifestyles first hand and would love to visit any interested schools along the way! You can follow our progress on the Teaching Wow blog and KEA Facebook page, as well as both Christina and Rich's Twitter feeds. Feel free to contact us if your school is along the way and would like to visit.
