Brilliant or Ridiculous?!?: A family of six from the Northern Philadelphia suburbs are dropping everything -- work, school, even selling their home -- to go on a six month rock climbing journey across the country. If only my parents had thought of this ten years ago...

As a climber reading this from my office with no windows, I am green with envy. I just hope the kids get to appreciate this experience and don't scream "Are we there yet?" every 10 minutes. Maybe the family is looking to adopt a 23 year old...probably not.

I vote brilliant. More people should follow dreams like this one.

Brilliant! sort of like a modern day tale of ordinary folks "seizing the day" and making their lives extraordinary.
