National Parks

My family at Old Faithful in Yellowstone Park, 1966

Everyone in my family is a huge fan of U.S. National Parks.  As a baby boomer myself, I grew up going on road trips to many of America's greatest natural jewels.  

Now, that I'm a mom with kids of my own I'm making sure that my children have the same opportunity to experience as many National Parks as possible as I did.

They didn't have these kinds of savings back when I was a kid.  But, the good news is that starting this Saturday through Easter Sunday, there will be dozens of discounts, offers and deals valid during National Park Week (Apr. 16 – 24) for everyone to take advantage of thanks to  the National Parks Promotion Council. 

Old Faithful is but one of 100s of geysers at Yellowstone National Park
