We’re taking a huge cross country road trip to visit national parks this summer. We decided to do this when we heard of the national parks’ “Every Kid In A Park” program, where all fourth-graders and their families can get into any national park for free. What a great excuse to go see the nation’s parks!
We’re going to spend three weeks traveling from North Carolina to Wyoming and back, visiting national parks, monuments, oddball sites, and local restaurants.
We hope to post frequently, but our main objective is to see and experience this great land of ours, so we may not post every day.
Enjoy!
