National Parks

 Sometime during the pandemic (like the rest of the world!!) we decided to take our love of national parks to the next level and make a concerted effort to visit all of the US National Parks (and some of the national park service sites/state park sites along the way). Here you can find links to some of the places we visited--I hope this is a great resource in planning your own adventures! I'd also suggest using the labels on the sidebar--this will take you quickly to various pages and give you all the applicable tagged posts, whether I've updated things here or not.
