We were not sure if we could, but we decided to go for it. After driving north through Galveston Island all along the sea wall, we decided to exit the island through the ferry service. We did not know at the time if it was possible for a school bus…
If I were given the chance to time travel back to one year ago, when we were in the midst of converting our school bus, I would have more than a few words for my slightly younger self. There’s a good chance we would end up arguing, but I would…

After multiple conversations and repeated handwringing, we took the plunge and entered our…
