If you can't make the free days but have plans to visit a couple National Parks this year I highly recommend buying their America the Beautiful Pass for National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands.

We did on our Maiden Voyage and made so much use of it! Click the picture below of us at Old Faithful Geyser in Yellowstone and you will link to all 21 posts of our National Park visits on our Maiden Voyage.

Next winter when we hope hit the road again an America the Beautiful pass will be one of the first purchases we buy for it. I'm extra excited about it now because my girls are now old enough to fully participate in the Jr Ranger programs.

Not all National Parks offer Jr Ranger programs but many do. The site pictured below explains in detail about the Jr Ranger Programs and his (Sam Maslow's) journey of collecting 325 badges, patches and buttons at the time of this posting. In July 2011 he was awarded a certificate of excellence for his volunteer work with promoting the Jr ranger program.

A wonderful resource for anyone with children...especially those homeschooling, unschooling or roadschooling.

Don't forget if you are near any National Parks TOMORROW you get in for free and for a list of other FREE days in 2014 chick HERE!

Happy travels everyone!!!

Amazing deal from Fulltime families and Legoland...even if you aren't a member

I've been away from this blog for awhile but it isn't abandoned. We have moved across the country and then moved again within the province and have spent a year renovating a home on the river. We are staying put this winter but hope to travel again next winter when i will get back to writing reviews of our travels. For now I wanted to share this great deal I just saw but it ends today so hopefully some of you can make use of it.

We are Fulltime Family Members (we will get back on the road) and I receive emails from them and wanted to share this one for Legoland Florida.

They have an amazing deal on right now for members and another great deal even if you aren't a fulltime member. So if you are in Florida now or will be there at the end of January check out this deal!
