How many of you get to travel?
We are talking of taking a trip out west this year.
We have been in the past & enjoyed it very much.
I was thinking today of all the National Parks we have seen...here is my list:
Acadia-Maine
Badlands-So. Dakota
Bryce Canyon-Utah
Glacier-Montana
Grand Canyon-Arizona
Grand Teton-wyoming
Hot Springs-Arkansas
Redwood-California
Rocky Mountain-Colorado
Sequoia-California
Shenandoah-Virginia
Theodore Roosevelt-No. Dakota
Yellowstone-Wyoming
Yosemite-California
Also have seen the National Memorial, Mount Rushmore in So. Dakota...
All of these places are beautiful.

I think I have been to Acadia in Maine, right Mom??
I have only seen from a car or plane the Shenandoah Mountains, Rockies and the mountains by my sister's out in Washington. I don't even remember the name of them!
When are you leaving Mom?
Also I saw on
http://www.aramarkparks.com/aarp/aarp.htm where you can save $$ with your AARP card. Here is another link
http://www.aarp.org/benefits-attract...dventures.html
You can also save 10% on a National Park Pass (for the ones that charge to get in) here

Remember when we saw this beautiful building & there was a very long pair of stairs going up to it. You Kids climbed up & on the DOOR it said "We Dress For Dinner"...
Guess what ...we did not dine there!!!! We were camping
You [we] also camped in the Shenandoah Mountains.
Do you remember putting out HOT DOGS ...so the Bear would come ??? Sweet Children, I had
That was after that nice "Ranger" told us all what NOT to do

Nope Shenandoah's I had already moved out, it was you 2 youngest sons who did that!
Probably Roddy!
All I remember about Maine was almost
