Houseboat INSIDER - play time over, school, kids, routine
August 31, 2012
Hello

Now that the summer holidays are generally over and the kids are back in school, is the houseboat feeling empty? Kids and houseboats seem to go hand-in-hand together and often results in a life changing experience that kids will never forget.

When they go back to school or grow up and leave the nest, do you find that the boat feels empty without their presence? Tell us what you feel that kids enjoy most about houseboating?

Popular Topics:
