The US National Parks Service has provided our family with innumerable adventures, activities, pit stops and learning experiences during our time here. They truly do a fantastic job preserving natural areas (e.g. Shenandoah, Catoctin, Cape Cod), historical sites (forts, monuments, battle sites, buildings) and culture (e.g. Jazz in New Orleans, American Impressionists at Weir Farm), and we are at the point where we (hubby) tends to plan trips around National Parks he'd like to visit, or at least check out the National Parks on the way to, or at, the locations we're visiting (and he would say it always works out!). One part of the fun is to satisfy the inner nerd by purchasing a National Parks Passport and collecting dated cancellation stamps from the sites one visits. Hubby's book is getting quite full. Some parks will have one stamp. Other parks will have different stamps for different locations within the park. We hope it will be a nice way of remembering where we have been.
