How our National Park adventure began.
A number of years ago we were preparing to drive to Florida for a vacation with our kids. We thought Mammoth Cave National Park would be a great rest stop along the way. Little did we know that this would be the beginning of our national park adventures. Then during the spring of 2016 life gave us an opportunity to take a long summer road trip. We were not going to let this opportunity slip away, and so the planning began for our trip west to see more national parks. That summer we visited the following six national parks: Badlands, Wind Cave, Yellowstone, Grand Teton, Great Smoky Mountains, and Cuyahoga Valley. Our planning for this trip inspired our family to try to see all of the national parks or as many as possible. Join our family as we begin this adventurous journey through our nation's national parks.
