NPS FREE Week!!!

This week entrance to all National Parks is completely FREE! In honor of that I am posting a bunch of photos from our various visits to National Parks and Historic Sites.

Dry Tortugas, 2003:
This is where Dave and I got hooked on visiting the parks! It is absolutely beautiful there and it is the most remote National Park, so as we visited the gift shop the lady working there encouraged us to buy a park passport {and get it stamped!} if we planned to visit other parks in the system. Possibly the best $10 we have ever spent and a great memory to have the book stamped in all the parks we visit!

The fun memories, cool experiences and things we have learned from visiting National Parks and National Historic Sites could not possibly be summarized in a handful of photos and a few sentences. I was disappointed to go through my posts and see that I have not documented nearly all the sites we have visited. I definitely encourage you to stop and visit any National Park that you either live near or are driving past, you will not regret it!! Previous National Parks we have visited and I have posted about {click any of the links to view}:
Florida
The Wright Brothers
Gettysburg
Pennsylvania
Ronald Reagan's Home
William Howard Taft's Home
George Rogers Clark Monument
Abraham Lincoln's Farm

Would love to have you guys come visit some summer and we can take you to Mt. Rainier National Park :) That's where our cabin is. It's beautiful!! What a cool idea. I wonder how many I've visited... I'll have to look back and figure it out.
