Cuyahoga NP

The National Park Service commissioned a series of videos in the eighties and I found the Cuyahoga video at our public library.  I was so thankful I did because there is so much more to this park that I wouldn't have known about in advance.  Firstly there is a scenic railroad that runs the entire … Continue reading Cuyahoga NP

First Ladies NM

Have you ever had weeks where your family won't stop fighting? Week after week the kids were arguing and we were grouchy. Laying in bed one night I made an executive decision that a Road Trip was the answer to our problems.  Nothing says RELAXING like throwing kids in a car, without electronics, because clearly … Continue reading First Ladies NM

Fort Necessity-NB

The first time I ever visited Fort Necessity, Hurricane Irene had hammered Pittsburgh and we had lost power.  There are two sureties in Pittsburgh, 1) Yes that Hill is STEEP and 2) NO your utilities will not be restored soon after a storm. My sister lived outside of D.C. at the time and our other … Continue reading Fort Necessity-NB

National Mall Badge

The National Mall badge is earned by visiting memorials on the National Mall and completing a worksheet at each.  The number of worksheets required is dependent on the age of the child and they give you a folder to keep them in as you journey.  For us we had to visit 4 memorials.  We were … Continue reading National Mall Badge

White Sands NM 2016

I love White Sands. Full disclosure, I went to college very close to White Sands National Monument and it was a regular recreation activity for us when we had cars.  It is so hot and sunny, absolutely breathtaking in it's natural beauty and there is so much fun to be had on all that sand, … Continue reading White Sands NM 2016

National Park Passports

I like magnets.  A LOT.  But collecting magnets has it's downsides, for example if I have a ton of magnets my children can put more art on the fridge.  They seem oblivious to the fact that there are layers of previous artwork as long as they can find a magnet they are going to use … Continue reading National Park Passports

Hot Springs NP 2016

Hot Springs is a gem.  An absolute gem.  I had visited before but never realized it was a National Park.  It is a picturesque, old timey down town area with the amazing architecture from the boom of affluence (we really appreciate that in Pittsburgh), plenty of southern charm and just a dash of tacky tourism!  … Continue reading Hot Springs NP 2016

Mammoth Caves NP 2016

Our first Park stop!  Due to vacation time we decided to leave Memorial Day Weekend because we could have 10 days of travel time for 4 days off from work.  Plus it would give us a cushion to arrive and get my husband set up to work from my sister's house, which was our final … Continue reading Mammoth Caves NP 2016

Why Road Trip?

We, like many people, live close to one family and far from all the rest.  So my children know my husband’s family very well, even his cousins’ children.  But my family lives ALL the way across they country.  So my kids rarely see my parents, siblings and their cousins.  I have two sets of parents … Continue reading Why Road Trip?

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.
