All these Badges….

Now you have a lot of badges, because you love them. Err, I mean because THE CHILDREN LOVE THEM.  And as you go through the house you find abandoned badges and realize that they are going to be lost to the chaos if you don't do something NOW!  I made my first display board for … Continue reading All these Badges….

Roadside Attractions

Before I loved National Parks, I loved roadside attractions.  LOVED THEM.  Have you ever driven near-ish to New Mexico and seen a Billboard for the Deming Duck Races? I saw my first one in Oklahoma when I was  16, and when I was 19 I finally made it and raced a duck.  Maybe you've seen … Continue reading Roadside Attractions

Parks in your Pocket

When I was in High-school, I remember the State Quarters being released and thinking it was silly.  My friends and I all laughed at people that collected them, probably because we were jerky know-it-all teens, AND we because lived in New Mexico. Since they were released in order of statehood it wasn't like we were … Continue reading Parks in your Pocket

Travel Cooking

We've all taken that vacation where we get really caught up in our scheduling and plan a long day full of activities. Only to find the last hour is nightmarish, with children melting down left and right and you are just dreaming of the hotel and praying that it's Harry Potter Weekend.  Sweet cable, SAVE … Continue reading Travel Cooking

New Year, Fresh Park?

My husband's job has a use it or lose it policy and this year he had a record 4 days left of leave which left him in the predicament of 11 days off in a row.  Rough life, right? It was our initial plan to send the kids to winter camp at our local community … Continue reading New Year, Fresh Park?

Holiday Dreaming

For me National Parks are the purest form of American Idealism. Not that they aren't problematic too, like most ideals, but the idea that everyone should have access to something regardless of personal attributes or characteristics is something most of us can agree on. An exception to capitalism, where wealth does not give you any … Continue reading Holiday Dreaming

How to plan to hit the MOST Parks (with kids)

So you may have noticed that I haven't posted many visits lately.  This is because our fall trip to New Mexico fell through due to life things so I missed my 11 parks that I had planned to do with the kids.  Now my husband says "11 parks alone with the kids???

Shop Your Parks For the Holidays, & Everyday!

In honor of Black Friday I thought I'd talk a little bit about shopping in the parks.  As you may know if you are a park enthusiast all parks have trouble with funding.  Much like our home budgets there is always a long list of things to be done and only so many dollars to … Continue reading Shop Your Parks For the Holidays, & Everyday!

National Parks are an amazing resource for the preservation of our history, natural resources and reflect the wide cultural variances in our nation. All these opinions are my own and I have no affiliation with any park entity. Though I kind of want to be a Park Ranger when I grow up.
