The Unofficial Guide to America’s National Parks

It’s summertime. Has been now for a few weeks I guess but it’s finally kicking in that the kids are out of school for awhile and it’s time to start thinking about some weekend camping trips out of the city.

I came across the NationalParksOnline.net blog awhile back and have been enjoying the casual atmosphere of how Michael and Gabrielle share their experiences as they travel and enjoy America’s National parks systems.

Their journey was an amazing one and you can read their stories.

It seemed like a good time to become reacquainted with our country – its people, its history and its natural beauty. We lived just 10 minutes away from each other throughout our childhood but met in Wroclaw, Poland, a world away. Michael proposed on day three. Four years later we were happily married, and amazed at what we had yet to appreciate right here in the United States. After years of traveling and living overseas, it was time to fully experience all that our own country had to offer and to see what else we had missed.

Get out there and renew your awareness and love for this great country we live in, it’s the part that rarely makes it in the news, but the part that’s worth more than all the stuff we’re worried about right now.

Relax. Enjoy America.

In celebration of Earth Day I thought it would be appropriate to spotlight a website for an organization that focuses it’s efforts on preserving our world and the nature around us. My family has had a new appreciation for the outdoors recently with our venturs into camping together as a family. I hope to instill in my kids an even greater appreciation and love for the outdoors, which includes taking care of what we’ve got.
