Family Travel
I grew up on family road trips to national parks and my hubbie and I are also raising our own kids to appreciate all that they offer. So, I'm particularly excited to be sharing this post with you. America's Best Idea - our national parks - gets even better with a generous number of fee-free days throughout the year at more than 100 participating national parks -- the Grand Canyon for example -- that usually charge entrance fees. However, note that other fees such as reservations, camping, tours, concession and fees collected by third parties are typically not included with these free days. I'm so happy to let you know that the last Free National Park dates in 2011 are coming up this Friday - Sunday, November 11-13, Veteran's Day Weekend. What's even better? Some of America's national parks are even free 365 days a year, so you'll definitely want to check the details on the NPS.gov website.
