Family from Maine driving around the country

(FOX 25 / MyFoxBoston.com) - Imagine shutting down your life for one year. No heading into the office or to school ... no weekend activities. Instead, you're loading up the car to drive around the country for a year. Call it a detour on the road of life.

Not many of us would actually follow through and do it but the Dunn family from Gorham, Maine is. They hit the road next week but stopped by FOX 25 to talk about their trip before heading out.

Follow their journey on their blog rain4river.wordpress.com/ and be sure to check out The Magical Moon Foundation as well.
